Austen classic brought to life on the Octagon stage

THIS UK premiere production of Kate Hamill’s version of Pride and Prejudice is a hilarious and lively take on the original novel.

- Review by Hilary Dawes

Directed by Lotte Wakeham and with sharp humour and sparkling dialogue, this witty stage adaptation brings to life the classic story of love, misunderstandings and second chances, whilst ingeniously maintaining every aspect of the original story.

We join the Bennet family as they learn that Mr Bingley, a wealthy, eligible bachelor, has moved into the neighbouring grand house.

Mrs Bennet, ever on the lookout for husbands for her five daughters, is beside herself with excitement at the prospect of at least one potential husband finally arriving on the scene.
