An Octagon Theatre Bolton, Theatre by the Lake, Stephen Joseph Theatre & Hull Truck Theatre production, in association with Theatr Clwyd
By Kate Hamill | Based on the novel by Jane Austen | Directed by Lotte Wakeham
Jane Austen’s most iconic love story is dazzlingly reimagined for the stage in this bold and brilliant adaptation by acclaimed playwright Kate Hamill. Directed by Lotte Wakeham, this vibrant production of Pride & Prejudice captures the wit, romance, and social satire of the beloved novel with a fresh theatrical energy.
At its heart is Lizzy Bennet, a fiercely independent young woman determined to defy the expectations of marriage and propriety. But when the enigmatic and aloof Mr. Darcy continues to cross her path, sparks fly, misunderstandings abound, and love proves harder to resist than she thought.
Brimming with sharp humour, lively music, and energetic dance, this joyous retelling invites audiences to immerse themselves in the flirtations, follies, and formalities of Regency-era England—where love might just conquer pride, and prejudice could lead to passion.
Featuring a large ensemble cast, this imaginative staging is a celebration of love, second chances, and the timeless appeal of Austen’s storytelling.
Don’t miss this sparkling theatrical event—perfect for Austen lovers and newcomers alike.
