Maddie Close & Poppy Gilbert interview on The Other Bennet Sister: Mary’s perspective & girlhood

Maddie Close & Poppy Gilbert interview on The Other Bennet Sister: Mary’s perspective, wit & girlhood Maddie Close and Poppy Gilbert talk about The Other Bennet Sister, a fresh reimagining of Pride and Prejudice that shifts the focus to Mary, the often overlooked middle Bennet sister. They explain how the series explores the world of Austen’s characters from Mary’s point of view, revealing new sides to familiar figures including Lizzy and Jane. Close and Gilbert say they were already devoted Austen admirers and describe the pleasure of entering a story so deeply loved while helping to open it up from a different perspective. They discuss drawing on Austen’s original novel, later adaptations and Janice Hadlow’s book, while also embracing the series’ own additions and tonal shifts. Close notes that revisiting Lizzy through Mary’s eyes proved unexpectedly confronting, while Gilbert highlights the greater complexity this version brings to Jane. Together, they comment on Ella Bruccoleri’s performance as Mary, and explain how she captures both the character’s isolation and her gradual self-discovery.
