Pride and Prejudice

This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous and wonderfully theatrical, Kate Hamill’s acclaimed adaptation of Pride and Prejudice breathes fresh life into one of literature’s most beloved stories. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined never to marry, despite mounting pressure from family and society. But as she navigates a world of expectations, misunderstandings and matchmaking, she finds herself repeatedly crossing paths with the vaguely handsome, mildly amusing and thoroughly aggravating Mr Darcy. As sparks fly and first impressions are challenged, both must confront their own pride, prejudice and assumptions in a story packed with wit, romance and unforgettable characters. Funny, fast-paced and full of energy, this inventive retelling of Jane Austen’s classic explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect – or imperfect – match. A timeless love story reimagined for a new generation.By Kate HamillDirected by Clive StackBrought to you by the award-winning Blackburn Drama Club.
