The Olivier and Evening Standard Theatre Award-winning sensation Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) will play a week-long run at Lighthouse Poole from Monday 18th to Saturday 23rd November.
Written and directed by Isobel McArthur, this retelling of Jane Austen’s classic love story blends humour, romance and a modern twist.
In this irreverent but affectionate adaptation, love, money and microphones are fiercely contested.
Set in the 1800s, with a lively atmosphere reminiscent of a party, the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance.
The “smart, laugh-out-loud funny” (Daily Telegraph) show features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain.
“Faithful to the book, it’s also a raucously irreverent romp” (Daily Mail). The cast includes Susie Barrett, Emma Rose Creaner, Rhianna McGreevy, Naomi Preston Low and Christine Steel, with additional company members Isobel Donkin, Georgia May Firth, and Harriet Sanderson.
Each actor takes on multiple roles in this inventive production, bringing Jane Austen’s beloved characters to life with a fresh twist.
It’s the 1800s.
It’s party time.
Let the ruthless matchmaking begin.
18th to 23rd November
7.45pm (Thurs and Sat matinees 2.30pm)
