Play with Fire

A Pride & Prejudice Variation

By: J. Marie Croft

Narrated by: Harry Frost

Madness! It was nothing but madness from beginning to end, and Darcy was caught up in it.

What do occupants of Netherfield Park do on a dreary Saturday, while the Bennet sisters are still in residence, and when they have nothing at all to do? They take a page from Mansfield Park, of course, and decide on a theatrical.

In the process of planning and performing the play, certain participants get more than a little carried away, especially Fitzwilliam Darcy where Elizabeth Bennet is concerned. There might even be a kiss…and a skirmish…leading to a duel.

No one involved in the play had set out with the intention of creating a scandal. None preforming in the theatrical began with the aim of ending with blushing faces, or bruised bodies, or blemishes on their reputations.

Blame it on The Mésalliance.

The narrator was great!

The whole novel was hilarious and the audio book brought it to life! Bingley’s insistence on certain pronunciations added to the fun.

Funny story

I laughed out loud many times while listening to this story. So daft it was great fun. Loved it in its all absurdity. Witty and well written. Great narrator as well.

First person POV

It’s fun. But it’s also first person POV and i can’t return the title now.

Fun

This fun and silly romp is told from Darcy’s point of view. Harry Frost’s performance was perfect.

What fun!

Totally farcical but such fun. As always, Harry Frost’s performance is a tour de force! A perfect way to forget about pandemic stresses for a few hours. Loved it!
