Synopsis
A Busy Day
Fanny Burney adapted Alan Coveney
Published by Oberon
Large Mixed Cast
It is also a witty and wonderfully-observed satire on class and greed by the most popular woman writer of her time
The scene is London in the summer of 1800, and in the course of just one busy day we are gleefully tumbled into a world of frustrated love, mistaken identity, snobbery, and downright vulgar bad manners
Fanny Burney (1752-1840), brilliant diarist and popular novelist, was an acute witness of the foibles of her time
"An uproarious and warm-heatred comedy" ~ Independent on Sunday
