Welcome to the Jane Austen Podcast

A Journey Through Mary Bennet's Story

The Impact of The Other Bennetts Sister

The Art of On-Screen Chemistry

DC and Lisa interview the INCREDIBLE Ella Bruccoleri, The Other Bennet Sister’s Mary Bennet. Prior to the interview, they discuss why the adaptation feels like “canon,” praising its care, its connection to the 1995 Pride and Prejudice (including Lucy Briers). They explain how the interview came about via Instagram after director Jennifer Sheridan shared the podcast with Ella. In the interview, Ella describes preparing for Austen as a latecomer, filming out of sequence, using visual/wardrobe “hacks” like loosening corsets, chemistry tests with co-stars, on-set laughter and outtakes, playing Mary’s self-love journey, eating vegan tofu scotch eggs on set, and how the role has transformed her life as the lead.
