LOST IN AUSTEN
Amanda Price, modern London girl
and Pride and Prejudice fan rejects a
drunken proposal from her boyfriend. She finds Elizabeth Bennet in her bathroom
and steps through a door into Longbourn a few days after Mr. Bingley’s arrival.
The door shuts, trapping Amanda, but she’s accepted as a visiting friend of
Lizzys. At the Assembly, she dances with Darcy, but kisses Bingley, and regrets
it, as Bingley falls for her. Mrs. Bennet dislikes her, but Amanda tries to get
the story on track by sending Jane in the rain to Netherfield. Amanda follows and saves Jane with modern
medicine. To discourage Bingley, Amanda tells him she’s a lesbian. On November
17, 1811 they leave Netherfield. [51:50 to 1:01:13] On the way home their coach
wrecks, but are saved by Wickham. Mr. Collins arrives and ends up proposing to
Amanda and she agrees to save Jane. At the Netherfield ball, Wickham tells
everyone Amanda’s money came from being a fishmonger’s daughter, and Collins
breaks off the engagement. Darcy warns Bingley off Jane. Collins and Jane are
married, but the marriage is not consummated.
Mrs. Bennet throws Amanda out. Amanda and Darcy tell each other off.
Wickham helps Amanda learn how to dress and act correctly. Amanda goes to see
Jane at Hunsford and the visiting Darcy realizes he’s attracted to Amanda. Mrs.
Bennet and Lydia come to see Jane. Darcy and Bingley quarrel and Darcy
apologizes to Amanda, while Bingley goes off on a drunk with Wickham. The
Collins, Mrs. Bennet, Lydia and Amanda go to Pemberley. Wickham brings Bingley
to Pemberley and Darcy confesses he loves Amanda. Georgiana tells Amanda she
offered herself to Wickham, who refused and told a story that he tried to
impose on her to save her reputation. Amanda confesses she’s not a virgin, so
Darcy says he can’t marry her. Caroline Bingley propositions Amanda. Darcy
proposes to Caroline and Bingley and Lydia run away together. Mrs. Bennet and
Amanda return to Longbourn. They, along with Mr. Bennet pursue Bingley and
Lydia to Hanmersmith, Amanda’s supposed home. They meet Wickham, who leads them
to Lydia and Bingley. Darcy arrives and Mr. Bennet and Bingley fight. Mr.
Bennet is hurt. Amanda charges through a door into modern London. On the way to
get Elizabeth, she sees Darcy, who says he still loves her. Darcy, Elizabeth
and Amanda return to Longbourn, where Mr. Bennet has been brought. Darcy
invites Elizabeth to Pemberley. Even though Mrs. Bennet tells the visiting Lady
Catherine de Bourgh off, she agrees to arrange the annulment of Jane and
Collins marriage if Amanda goes away. However Elisabeth returns to modern
London and Amanda goes to Pemberley instead.
Humorous in showing a modern girl
in the nineteenth century. It does help if you’re familiar with Pride and
Prejudice. Otherwise a lot of the in-jokes will go over your head.
