Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of)
About Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of)
By Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen
Following its triumphant triumphs in the West End where it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy and the Evening Standard Award, the critically acclaimed Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) returns with a hilarious, unique, and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story.
Men, money, and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance. This multi-award-winning production features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain.
A joy for Austen and non-Austen fans alike!
It’s the 1800s. It’s party time. Let the ruthless matchmaking begin.
