Don’t miss Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) – get a ticket now.This iconic tale is set in Regency England – a world where social hierarchies are rigid and wealth and status are the ultimate currency. But you needn’t be familiar with the story to get swept up in the high-spirited antics of Isobel McArthur’s affectionate adaptation. With razor-sharp comedy and brilliant costume and set design, it’s a production that redefines the classic – and we suspect you’ll be just as smitten as we are.
In Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of), the gloves are off as men, money and microphones are fought over in a less-than-lady-like manner. And what is a five star show without the high-octane soundtrack to match? Here a string of pop classics including ‘Young Hearts Run Free’, ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’ and ‘You’re So Vain’, will drive the drama forward, providing the perfect backdrop for the on-stage chaos.
