In a town as small as Meryton, it’s every woman of a marrying age for herself. Now, add to that you’re competing with four beauties from one household alone — The Bennet sisters, Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty and Lydia (notice I didn’t include sweet, plain Mary in that line-up — and every other gal in town has to work doubly hard on her flirting and feminine wiles. Then you have Charlotte Lucas. Moving quickly toward her prime, even sporting a title won’t get her what she wants: a husband. Or will it? In this episode of Pride and Prejudice the Musical  Podcast, Librettist Josie Brown asks Lyricist-Composer Rita Abrams to explain how she came up with lyrics for Charlotte’s solo, “In My Imagination,” that are both hilarious and poignant, yet explain the spinster's dilemma so succinctly.
