“Francoise Traxler is a scream as the shy and quiet stage manager who gets bit hard by the acting bug when she’s forced to step in for an incapacitated leading lady.”

“Traxler, as Jane, has the kind of delicate, 19th century presence that’s perfect for an Austen adaptation – and then she reappears to play Miss Anna de Bourgh in all her creepy glory.”
