Lovers' Vows by Elizabeth Inchbald. Presented by The Online Stage.

Lovers' Vows is Elizabeth Inchbald's controversial adaptation of the German play Das Kind der Liebe (The Love Child) by August von Kotzebue. Though it met with great success both on stage and in print, some were concerned discussion of premarital sex and the leveling of social rank. Today, it is best known as the play that the Mansfield Theatricals rehearse in Jane Austen's Mansfield Park.

cute, but nothing special (unless...)

if it weren't for Mansfield Park, I don't think this would be much remembered, but it's a must listen if you're a fan of that novel, and the performance is good.

Great performance

If it wasn’t for Mansfield Park, I would not have heard of this play. I highly enjoyed i

What Fun!

The performances are outstanding. We listened to this because it is in Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park. I am very glad we did. It is very funny and easy to follow.

Not much of a performance, more of a read-through

I bought this because of Jane Austen's book "Mansfield Park", in which this play "Lovers' Vows" was rehearsed. Jane Austen admired Elizabeth Inchbald, and I was curious about the story of "Lovers Vows", But this audiobook wasn't much of a performance, it was more of a read-through. Pity.
