Pride and Prejudice

Description

This adaptation by Jane Kendall uses much of Jane Austen's text to present the story.  The director, Richard Hughes, added live music interludes between scenes performed by the cast.

The play is set around 1800 in the drawing room of Longbourn, Hertfordshire; the home of the Bennett family.

The irrepressible Mrs Bennett is eager to see her five daughters married before her husband dies and his estate passes to the odious Mr Collins.  But the varying temperaments and feistiness of Elizabeth and her sisters means that the path to matrimony is far from smooth
