Pride & Prejudice

By Kate Hamill

based on the novel by Jane Austen

 

Directed by Sara Mountjoy-Pepka

​

​July 18 - August 3

The Barrington Theater

The Story

This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen. It’s fizzy, festive, and timely. In this bold, boisterous spin on Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy Bennet swears off marriage—but love (and one vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly infuriating Mr. Darcy) has other plans. Packed with wit, chaos, and charm, this screwball take on literature’s greatest tale of latent romance is a dazzling celebration of love, freedom, and the delightful absurdity of it all.
