Abridged version but an excellent performance

Mansfield Park is a favorite, and while this version is abridged (by half at a guess), the performances and acting are excellent. I own another abridged, read version, but enjoy having this performed (for radio?) one as well.

A Delightful Drama

Mansfield Park is my favorite Austen novel, and I've heard two other audiodramas of it, both of which I've loved for different reasons, but this one has a special spark all its own! What an absolute treasure!

I love how the Narrator talks to the characters in this, the breaking of the forth wall is so cute here. I couldn't help smiling at those bits.

Well done

This dramatized version differentiates the characters well, and they don't sound incongruous. The only thing is, I always liked the Fanny/Edmund pairing, and this version had me rooting for Henry! It's just a time period thing - back in the day if you blotted your character you had destroyed your life; today we feel that a person can change their life with the right motivation.
