Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin
Illyria
Thurs 3 Aug 7.30pm
Castle Main Lawn
Illyria’s production of Jane Austen’s glorious social comedy attracted six years of sell-out audiences, touring throughout the UK and Europe garnering nationwide critical acclaim.
In a whirlwind of balls, dinners and very eligible officers, Lizzy Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy stand alone as the only sane, thoughtful people – and they hate each other! Or do they? Can she see beyond his pride, and can he overcome her prejudice, in order to achieve happiness?
If your idea of Jane Austen is stuffy costume drama then this sparkling adaptation may make you change your mind. Bring a picnic and something to sit on and have a ball as the irrepressible Illyria sharpen their claws to bring you Jane Austen at her vibrant, bitchy best!
Running time: 2hrs 20min (including 20 minute interval)
Suitable for ages 8+
