Page 4 THE VILLADOM TIMES II • August 25, 2010 Glen Rock Borough woman to perform ‘Cheer from Chawton’ The Glen Rock Public Library will present “Cheer from Chawton: A Jane Austen Family Theatrical” performed by New York actress Karen Eterovich, on Tuesday, Sept. 7 at 7 p.m. Eterovich, a Glen Rock resident, also wrote the play which is based on the life of the legendary novelist, Jane Austen, and highlights Austen’s contributions to the world of literature, her relationship with her family, and her adventures as a “flirtatious butterfly” in rural England. After the performance in Glen Rock, Eterovich will return to the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, England, where she will perform “Cheer from Chawton” as the finale for the festival’s tenth anniversary. She has performed her play at the renowned Players Club in New York City and at the 2006 Jane Austen Festival in Bath, where Sue Hughes, editor of Regency World Magazine, proclaimed it “the hit of the festival” on BBC Radio Scotland. In the November issue of “Jane Austen’s Regency World,” Hughes also said: “The play’s premise is an ingenious one…It was difficult to see when the applause was going to end.” Hughes called the performance exciting and exuberant. Because of “Cheer from Chawton” and her other play, “Love Arm’d, Aphra Behn & Her Pen,” Eterovich has been in constant demand as both a lecturer and performer on the college circuit. Eterovich created the piece after performing in a play about Austen. She found herself fascinated by the writer, Austen’s family, and her life. Cynthia Kane, writer, documentary producer, and consultant at the Sundance Channel, said, “Karen’s performance as Jane Austen was sublime…very exciting! I went home and dug out my complete anthology of Jane Austen to reread after spending an evening in her lovely, witty company!” Amy Smith of the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA has described “Cheer from Chawton: as follows: “The ‛home theatrical’ conception is the perfect way for Karen Eterovich to frame her lively performance and entertaining script. This play gives the audience a wonderful (and interactive!) overview of the best of Austen’s works—from familiar, beloved dialogue from ‘Pride and Prejudice’ to hilarious selections from the juvenilia and touching portions from her personal letters, as well. Her multiple, well-distinguished characterizations make this show truly engaging.” Austen is considered one of the greatest writers in English. Her superior wit and intuition have not been surpassed in nearly two centuries. This performance is free and sponsored by the Glen Rock Public Library.
