Jane Austen fans will laugh through Pied & Prodigious. D.M. Andrews had gone scene-by-scene through the familiar masterpiece and turned it on its head. The comedy of manners now focuses on tall hats, height and notable lack of accomplishment. Lizzy is lamentably unattractive as she is too short and a flurry of prodigious accomplishments. Mr. Dicey, of the tall hat and Pied suit, is the fashionable man of means (AKA a vast wardrobe). From the vampire de Bore to the Blingley siblings, all the Austen characters are transformed. It's a hoot!
