THE FAMOUS FANNY BURNEY
PERFORMED BY KARIN FERNALD
Thursday 18 and Friday 19 March, 7pm

A solo show based on the journals and letters of Fanny Burney, later Madame D'Arblay (1752-1840): diarist, novelist, playwright, lady-in-waiting to King George III and Queen Charlotte.

Frances Burney (1752-1840), Fanny to her family and friends, Jane Austen's most admired authoress, is best known to later generations for her journals, her letters and her first novel EVELINA. Her journals offer a witty, perceptive and highly personal view of life in late l8th century London and elsewhere.

Dr Johnson's House is delighted to welcome Karin Fernald back to perform her popular show of Fanny Burney. Karin's stage appearances include Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice at London's Haymarket, Measure for Measure at Stratford, Ontario and the West End hit, A Ghost on Tiptoe. Her one-woman stage show, The Famous Miss Burney, has been performed in many countries including Canada, Greece, Norway, Germany and Japan. Karin has appeared in Van der Valk and Blue Peter, and she has worked extensively in radio as actress and programme maker. Karin speaks and performs regularly at the National Portrait Gallery and to NADFAS.
