Celebrating 30 years of the iconic adaptations of 1995: Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion and Clueless!
This exhibition looks back to 1995 – an astonishing year of film and TV adaptations that changed the Austen landscape forever.
The exhibition will showcase two original Pride and Prejudice transmission scripts from the Andrew Davies Archive and handwritten notes on the production from the Sue Birtwistle Archive, on loan from De Montfort University. Production shots, original cinema posters, merchandise and original press cuttings will also feature in the exhibition. A facsimile of all the Pride and Prejudice scripts will be available for visitors to leaf through, brought to life via the original BBC Pride and Prejudice soundtrack which will accompany the exhibition.
