This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools…than the high-stakes game of love?
Starring Josh Carruthers, Petra Carter, Ally Dahlke, Jesus Fidel, Marina Gradowitz, Selah Gradowitz, Ruth Luna, Alex Mitts, Kayleigh Peaker, Chayce Perlis, Grace Piercy, Clarianne Righetti, Angela Tante, Andy Vega, Ronnie Warren, and Carlie Wood.
