The Austen Affair

Bol Partner

Two feuding co-stars in a Jane Austen film adaptation accidentally travel back in time to the Regency Era in this delightfully clever and riotously funny debut. Tess Bright is a C-list actress who just scored her dream role starring in a film adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. It's not just the role of a lifetime, but it’s also her last chance to prove herself as a serious actress (no easy feat after being fired from her last TV gig) and more importantly, it’s her opportunity to honour her mum, who was the biggest fan of Jane Austen ever. But one thing is standing in Tess’s way - well, one very tall, annoyingly handsome person, actually: Hugh Balfour. A serious British method actor, Hugh wants nothing to do with Tess (whose Teen Choice Awards somehow don’t quite compare to his BAFTA nominations). Hugh is a type-A, no-nonsense, Royal Academy prodigy, whereas Tess is big-hearted, a little reckless, and admittedly, kind of a mess. When an electrical accident sends the two feuding co-stars back in time to Jane Austen’s era, with only each other to rely on, Tess and Hugh need to ad-lib their way through the Regency period in order to make it back home. But if a certain someone looks particularly dashing in those 19th century breeches…well, Tess won’t be complaining. A wickedly funny, utterly charming story, The Austen Affair is a tribute to Jane Austen, second chances, and love across the space-time continuum.
