“A sparkling new adaptation”,“Ravishing”,“Remarkably resonant”:Edmonton Journal
Meet the Bennets, a lower gentry family with a problem. In a period when women were pawns in a man's world, the five Bennet daughters have all reached marriageable age at the same time.
Pride and Prejudice follows the family's adventures through the rocky romance of Lizzie and the dour and ill-mannered Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth, on hearing of Darcy's disdain for the locals , develops a hostility toward him, which, after many tribulations and witty, hostile encounters, inevitably leads to mutual admiration and true love. Such a barebones description of Austen's novel necessarily fails to include the long months of romantic complications and rich array of subsidiary characters that make the play such a delight.
