“BECOMING JANE’’ (Cert PG); screenings on April 19th, 25th and 26th at 7-30 p.m. at Stage & Screen @ St Mary’s Centre, Church Street, Clitheroe.


IF you are a fan of Jane Austen’s novels - and judging by the con­ stant stream of TV adaptations it seems plenty are - then “Becoming


Jane” should appeal to you. I t promises something of an insight, albeit a “fictionalised” one, into the real life of the famous authoress and the events which inspired her to set pen to paper. It paints a portrait of a young


Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) becoming embroiled in a passion­ ate love affair with an Irish lawyer, Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy).


The pressures of her family’s


expectations and those of society as a whole are strongly fely by the young Jane and frequently at'odds with her true desires - a common


thread throughout her later liter­ ary work. The wonderful duo of Julie Wal­ ters and Dame Maggie Smith are


two of the theatrical heavyweights adding gravitas.
