Jane Austen’s Lady Susan: Watch Online
Austen’s epistolary novel, delivered to your inbox: 41 short films in 41 days
22 Sept – 1 Nov 2025
Calling all Jane Austen fans! Enjoy a daily dose of Austen in your inbox.
Creation Theatre’s award-winning team presents a witty, digital adaptation of Lady Susan in celebration of Jane Austen’s 250th anniversary. Told through 41 letters, this playful production transforms each letter into a short film, sent to your inbox daily between 22 September to 1 November 2025.
Lady Susan is one of Austen’s most unforgettable characters—scheming, flirtatious, and shamelessly self-serving, yet undeniably charming. Newly widowed, she’s determined to secure a wealthy new husband and find a suitable match for her reluctant teenage daughter. But can she outwit her critics—or has her reputation finally caught up with her?
“She is clever and agreeable, has all that knowledge of the world … which is too often used … to make black appear white.”
— Catherine Vernon, Letter 6
“There is exquisite pleasure in subduing an insolent spirit, in making a person predetermined to dislike acknowledge one’s superiority.”
— Lady Susan, Letter 7
“What could I do! Facts are such horrid things.”
— Mrs Johnson, Letter 21
Tickets are £41 – so that works out as £1 a day for the duration of the project.
