Life Lived as a Stutter
In the span of fifty years, my life has been a journey marked by challenges and triumphs, a testament to the indomitable spirit that resides within every human being. Born into a family of three men and five women, my early years were defined by a struggle with asthma that rendered me unable to speak until the age of four. Little did I know that this was just the beginning of a unique journey filled with obstacles, resilience, and unexpected opportunities.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT JANE WANTED
I am confident in saying that Pride & Prejudice (sort of) is the best thing I will have seen all year (and I'm holding myself to that). If you are already confused and wondering "what Pride & Prejudice (sort of) is", well let me tell you! It is a hilariously smart and beautifully chaotic theatrical retelling of Pride & Prejudice (duh) by Jane Austen (double duh). Isobel McArthur, the writer and co-director, must be some sort of genius because before the show was even over my friend excitedly whispered to me that "this is exactly what Jane would've wanted!" (a play on something I've previously written... This is Not What Jane Wanted).
