Pride and Prejudice
By Kate Hamill
Adapted from the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Megan Behm
Literary Classic
In this spirited new adaptation, Jane Austen’s beloved story about the intersection between love, marriage, and social status is fresher and funnier than you ever thought possible.
The headstrong Elizabeth Bennet faces mounting pressure from her status-conscious mother to secure a suitable marriage. But is marriage suitable for a woman of Elizabeth’s intelligence and independence? Especially when the irritating, aloof, self-involved… tall, vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aristocratic Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent new adaptation.
