I put on a few Disney movies for my preschoolers and I listened happily to the book on my headphones. I did listen to it mostly in one sitting. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?īenedict Cumberbatch and David Tennant shine as Edmund and Tom. I already had one friend on Facebook that was very excited to listen to it. Would you recommend Mansfield Park (Dramatized) to your friends? Why or why not?ĭefinitely. At a bit over two hours, it is something that can be easily listened to multiple times. Yes, it was extremely well done and all the actors were a pleasure to listen to. Would you listen to Mansfield Park (Dramatized) again? Why?
I'd recommend going with Juliet Stevenson's narration of the unabridged "Mansfield Park" - it's available at Audible.) Reading "Mansfield Park" can be something of a chore - this listen is a breeze! (The BBC dramatization may well encourage some to seek out the full version. I'm not usually a fan of abridged classics, but this is valuable whether or not you are familiar with Jane Austen's perhaps least-favorite novel. Cumberbatch, Tennant, and Jones are three of today's most popular artists - it's a wonder how they were assembled for such a project - and the rest of the cast equals their talent and energy. Can you fit "Mansfield Park" into 2 hours and 18 minutes? This lovely dramatized production answers the question thusly: 1) Get some wonderful A-list British actors 2) Find a writer or writers who can severely cut Miss Austen to the bone without sacrificing all the dialogue, the essence of the characters, or the dated charm of Jane Austen and Fanny Price 3) Don't worry if you seriously tick off the purist Janeites out there! That's what the BBC has done, and here it is done supremely well.
