Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

Description

Directed by Preston Butler III
 
AN UPLIFTING HOLIDAY ROMANCE WITH JANE AUSTEN’S CHARACTERS
By Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
This play imagines what the witty and vibrant Bennet sisters’ world might be like two years after the end of Pride and Prejudice, the timeless Jane Austen classic. We get to revisit many of our favorite characters including Lizzy, Mr. Darcy, Jane, Mr. Bingley, and Lydia and finally get to know more about Mary Bennet, the middle sister who has been written off as a spinster who will never be married. Lizzy and Mr. Darcy have decided to host Christmas at their estate, Pemberley, this year, and Lizzy’s sisters show up a few days early to prepare for the holiday. An unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love. Multiple generations can enjoy this story together.
