Sally Goes Jane Austen!

Yes, it’s confirmed! Sally will play Anne Elliott in Jane Austen‘s “Persuasion” – a new TV adaptation for ITV. Filming is set to begin in September 2006 during the Jane Austen Festival in Bath. So those of you who’re going to Bath next month, do see if you’ll bump into the cast & crew of “Persuasion,” eh? Read on…

“Persuasion” is set to be broadcast in the UK sometime in 2007. As for those of you living on the other side of the Atlantic, we heard that it will be aired as part of the Masterpiece Theatre series at the end of 2007 in celebrating the Jane Austen Festival. FYI, Masterpiece Theatre is a PBS production. To date, we don’t have any UK or US/Canada broadcast dates yet. As soon as we hear, we’ll post it here.
