Jane Austen’s epistolary novel Lady Susan is a thrilling tale of scandal and intrigue, and Lady Susan Vernon, “the most accomplished coquette in England”, is at the centre of it all. Based on this captivating story, the BUEDG has created a brand new web series: written by Kerstin-Anja Münderlein, Lady Susan, or A Tale of Two Post Offices is set in two post offices in contemporary England. The postmistresses and their staff lead rather uneventful lives – until, that is, Lady Susan’s letters start falling into their hands. Bored and in utter disregard of the secrecy of the letter, they read each and every one of the letters by Lady Susan and her associates, and get more and more invested in her story. Join them as they comment on the texts, take sides, and root for their favourite characters – conflicts, drama, and hilarity ensue!
