While browsing Frock Flicks, I came across a 2024 short comedy called Jane Austen’s Period Drama.
Content note: icky female bodily fluids are depicted (faked, obviously, but nevertheless) and discussed. Beware, hereinafter there be cooties!
The short is both written and directed by Julia Aks and Steve Pinder. Furthermore, Aks stars as Miss Estrogenia ‘Essy’ Talbot. According to IMDB, the farce is introduced thus:
“England, 1813. In the middle of a long-awaited marriage proposal, Miss Estrogenia Talbot gets her period. Her suitor, Mr. Dickley, mistakes the blood for an injury, and it soon becomes clear that his expensive education has missed a spot.”

Don’t let the film’s short duration fool you: Jane Austen’s Period Drama has very impressive sets and props plus acting and filming, but it’s the writing that takes the cake. (Chocolate cake, obviously, considering the topic.)
Reader, I laughed and laughed!
Some things are just too silly not to share!
