Mega Mega Drop Drop - Interview with The Other Bennet Sister Director, Jennifer Sheridan

DC and Lisa introduce a “mega drop” interview with Jennifer Sheridan, director of The Other Bennet Sister.  Sheridan discusses how she feels protective of Mary, and why casting Ella Bruccoleri was crucial to balancing Mary’s prickliness, vulnerability, comedy, and how she led the on-set tone. She shares her love for the 1995 Pride and Prejudice, the inspired decision to cast Lucy Briers as Hill.  She explains visual and costume choices, her comedy instincts and the show’s depiction of Mary’s experience of familial cruelty. She even hints about other Austen retellings in the works!

David and Lisa Campbell discuss episodes 5 and 6 of The Other Bennet Sister, share listener growth worldwide (including Iraq and Vietnam), and announce an upcoming bonus interview with director Jennifer Sheridan, inviting questions via email. They praise the show’s title sequence and composer, then recap Mary’s London ball: her onion-mask “polish,” anxiety about walking and dancing, an iconic chaotic first dance with Tom, the reality of dance cards, and her conversation and chemistry with Mr. Ryder. They highlight Caroline Bingley’s cruel sabotage (switching place cards, provoking Mary to sing), Mary’s sharp retort, and Mary smashing a beetle jar. Episode 6 returns to Pemberley with Mrs. Bennet’s exaggerated “vapors,” Mary’s lingering embarrassment, family dynamics pushing her back into old roles, Mr. Ryder visiting, shared reading, riding mishaps, and a Wordsworth recitation that ends with anticipation of what happens next.
