Queensland Theatre – Pride & Prejudice
A sumptuous theatrical ode to the mother of romantic comedies
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Pride & Prejudice is one of the greatest romance stories ever written. In the 251st year after her birth, Jane Austen’s timeless tale leaps to the stage in a vibrant retelling with a luminous all-Queensland cast.
Smart, witty and fearless, Elizabeth Bennet is an independent young woman who dearly loves a laugh and isn’t afraid to poke fun where fun is most definitely warranted. At odds with her husband-hunting sisters and dithery mother, Lizzy longs for the power to determine her own marital fate. Especially when the best of the worst suitors is the pompous Mr Collins.
Yet amid the glittering swirl of regency balls, gossip and hypocrisy that is 19th Century England, Elizabeth encounters the arrogant, aloof, but infuriatingly eligible Mr Darcy. As frustrating as he is fascinating, could this man be a worthy paramour?
Elizabeth and Darcy are more alike than they care to admit. Mindful? Yes. Demure? Debatable. A perfect match? Most ardently!
Penned by Patrick White Award winners Wendy Mocke and Lewis Treston, Austen’s rapier wit and iconic characters burst to life in this exquisite theatrical adaptation of the novel that defined the very genre of romantic comedy.
