Aromantic tale of love, perseverance and rejuvenation, 'Persuasion' pits desire against convention, cutting to the heart of the social and gender issues of early nineteenth century England. Eight years after Anne Elliot's painful rejection of the naval officer she was betrothed to, having been convinced of his "unworthiness" by her family, she once again struggles with her rekindled and unwavering devotion. Austen's scenes of avarice and poverty, flirtations begun and abandoned, and her ability to be a ruthless narrator, all come to life in this insightful world-premiere adaptation.
