Pride and Prejudice @ Harlequin Productions (Olympia)
Playwright Kate Hamill imbues hilarious new life into Jane Austen’s classic love story with a decidedly progressive take on the trials and travails of Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, and of course the delightful Bennet clan. Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this Pride and Prejudice for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life.
