Persuasion – Dorchester Drama

Eight years after being persuaded to give up her handsome but penniless naval officer, Wentworth is back in Anne Elliot’s life, now a glorious war hero with a fortune. Anne, practically ancient at 27, is forced to watch other, younger and livelier women compete for the attention of the man she never really stopped loving. But she is older, wiser, and possessed of a quiet strength that will see her endure.

Dorchester Drama brings you Jo Bradley’s adaptation, showcasing the characters in all their opinionated, tragic, and entertaining glory; Anne in particular invites us in, sharing her innermost thoughts and giving us the occasional knowing glance.
