All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's widely read and well-loved classic come vividly to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation by theatre legend Jon Jory. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, sparks fly as her headstrong, opinionated nature clashes with his pride and arrogance. In a world where manners and birth mean everything and reputation means as much as gold, Darcy and Elizabeth must unlearn their misconceptions and undo their misunderstandings in order to find true and lasting love.

"...this evening is a treat not only for fans of Austen’s work ... but a great entrée for the uninitiated to discover the world of Mr. Bennet and his five daughters." -Back Stage Newspapers
