Pride & Prejudice
May 21 - June 22, 2008
Based on the novel by Jane Austen
Adapted by Marge Betley and Mark Cuddy

The Story: Mrs. Bennet has five daughters and her chief aim in life is to see them well-married: “A single man with a good fortune must be looking for a wife.” Mr. Bennet’s favorite daughter, Lizzie, has her own ideas about romance and marriage – and a fiery wit to match. Is it possible for a smart young woman in 1810 England, with little money and ho-hum prospects, to find true love? Only the dark and handsome Mr. Darcy knows...and he’s too prideful to show it.

The Experience: A lush production – rich in humor, music and elegance – of one of the world’s most popular love stories. Adapted from the literary classic, a romantic comedy full of the style and satiric wit of Jane Austen.

The Buzz: A fresh new look at an old favorite.
