PRIDE & PREJUDICE

JANUARY 24−FEBRUARY 8, 2020

Kate Hamill's effervescent adaptation of Jane Austen's novel

Dupree Theatre, Irving Arts Center

This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous and timely, this Pride & Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly assuming and impossibly aggravating 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 that in this effervescent adaptation.
