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, all notions of respectable theatre (and British etiquette) get thrown out the door. This is Pride and Prejudice as the BBC would never abide — where love, liquor, and laughter flow in equal measure.

One big party at Pemberly

🍸 Pre-show party – Arrive early to sip, mingle, and show off your best Regency era-inspired attire. With live musicians, playful actors, and competitions (including best dressed), the fun begins before the curtain even rises.

🥂 Table service throughout the show – Enjoy delicious drinks delivered straight to your seat. Choose from our range of themed cocktails, like the Dark & Darcy (Espresso Martini on tap!) or the Wickham Whirl, a Regency twist on a frozen Margarita.

🎭 Afterparty with the cast – Once the drama (on stage) ends, the dancing begins! Join the cast for a Regency dance lesson before hitting the floor to Movie Mixes—modern pop mashed up with your favorite Austen adaptation moments.

Theatre with a twist

Join us for Mr Darcy’s booziest ball, where spirits are high, the drinks are strong, and the line between performance and party is deliciously blurred. With live music, riotous improv, and a cast navigating Austen’s tangled love stories — one sip at a time — this is a comedic cocktail sure to leave you rolling on the floor one way or another.

So bring your eligible bachelors, your unmarried daughters, and the lover you’ll settle for if your cousin won’t have you. Grab 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!
