Lovers' Vows
NEWS November 2024
HISTORIA THEATRE COMPANY has a new production coming up.
​
This is LOVERS’ VOWS by Elizabeth Inchbald, directed by Kenneth Michaels, and published in 1798.
It had at least 6 productions in Bath while Jane Austen was living there 1801-1806. So, no wonder it plays such a huge role affecting the action and the lives of the characters in her novel MANSFIELD PARK!
