About Illyria Outdoor Theatre – Pride and Prejudice
Celebrating the 250th anniversary of Jane Austin’s birth, award-winning outdoor theatre company Illyria returns to Cogges Manor Farm with Pride and Prejudice. Adapted by Oliver Gray.
Illyria’s outdoor production of Jane Austen’s glorious social comedy has attracted sell-out audiences throughout the UK and Europe, attracting nationwide critical acclaim. In a whirlwind of balls, dinners, and very eligible officers, Lizzy Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy stand alone as the only sane, thoughtful people – and they hate each other! Or do they? Can she see beyond his pride, and can he overcome her prejudice, in order to achieve happiness?
If your idea of Jane Austen is stuffy costume drama then this sparkling adaptation is guaranteed to change your mind. Enjoy a summer drink and have a ball, as the irrepressible Illyria sharpen their claws to bring you, Jane Austen, at her vibrant, bitchy best!
“At its best, theatre is shared storytelling. And to experience this in the open air is uniquely special,” says Artistic Director Oliver Gray. “Outdoors, with good company, good food and a glass of something bubbly is a much less formal way to enjoy theatre. There’s no better way to celebrate British summertime.”
