About this listen

Madness! It was nothing but madness from beginning to end, and Darcy was caught up in it.

What do occupants of Netherfield Park do on a dreary Saturday, while the Bennet sisters are still in residence, and when they have nothing at all to do? They take a page from Mansfield Park, of course, and decide on a theatrical.

In the process of planning and performing the play, certain participants get more than a little carried away, especially Fitzwilliam Darcy where Elizabeth Bennet is concerned. There might even be a kiss…and a skirmish…leading to a duel.

No one involved in the play had set out with the intention of creating a scandal. None preforming in the theatrical began with the aim of ending with blushing faces, or bruised bodies, or blemishes on their reputations.

Blame it on The Mésalliance.

If you enjoy Austen variations you will love this novella! Harry’s narration really added to the comedy in this story, his voices and acting really shone through. The story was a little far-fetched for me, the farcical nature of the story was very funny though. I enjoyed Darcy, Bingley and the Hursts so much in this story but this version of Elizabeth wasn’t one of my favourites. Definitely worth listening to for amusement!

Very funny and witty variation
