A comedian, musician, actor and improviser, Rachel Parris is also an avid fan of Jane Austen. For 14 years she has been touring an improv comedy group called Austentatious and now she has written 'A Pride and Prejudice Novel'.
'Introducing Mrs Collins' imagines the life of Charlotte Lucas, the good friend of Elizabeth Bennet. In her marriage to Mr Collins, Charlotte chose stability over romance, but may she yet find her own happy ending?
This is a witty, warm, accomplished and entertaining novel and Rachel is a fabulous speaker whose enthusiasm for all things Austen is infectious!
A familiar face through her appearances on 'The Mash Report', 'Would I Lie to You?' and 'Mock the Week', Rachel is also a regular guest on BBC R4's 'The Now Show' and 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue'. She will be in conversation with Catherine Larner and signing copies of her book.
Tickets are £20 (including a copy of 'Introducing Mrs Collins' RRP £18.99) and one further ticket may be purchased for £12 (without the book).
