Plied and Prejudice in London

5 ACTORS, 20 CHARACTERS, 1 BIG PARTY AT PEMBERLEY!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in Regency England must be in want of a very stiff drink.

Direct from a sellout run in Australia, the aussies are back in the motherland to ruin another cultural icon. Plied and Prejudice is a hilarious adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, telling the tale of Elizabeth Bennet and Mister Darcy as you’ve never seen it before.

With five actors scrambling to play twenty characters in this chaotic retelling, all notions of respectable theatre (and British etiquette) get thrown out the door! This is Pride and Prejudice as the BBC would never abide.

Join us for Mr Darcy’s booziest ball, equal parts performance and party with actors and musicians live on stage. Plied and Prejudice is a comedic cocktail sure to leave you rolling on the floor one way or another. Bring your eligible bachelors, your unmarried daughters, and the lover you’ll settle for if your cousin won’t have you, for an unhinged night of love, lust, and libations.

Settle in with a drink (to calm your poor nerves) and get ready for all the highs and lows that Austen has to offer: from awkward proposals and scandalous elopements, to the wettest of wet t-shirt contests.

Whether you're an Austen die-hard, or you'd rather be watching Die Hard, you're sure to love it—most ardently!
