Western Daily Press

June 05, 2025

MARISA Abela and Harris Dickinson are to star in an Audible audiobook adaption of Jane Austen's Pride And Prejudice.

Bafta winner Abela, who stars in BBC Two drama Industry, will play romantic heroine Elizabeth Bennet, while Babygirl actor Dickinson will play her suitor Mr Darcy in the production, which will be released on September 9.

Abela, 28, said of her role: "Elizabeth Bennet is one of the most fiercely intelligent and iconic characters in literature, and stepping into her shoes has been an incredible honour.

"What I love about this adaptation is how it lets us hear her inner world in such a vivid, intimate way - it feels both timeless and fresh.

"Recording this with such a phenomenal cast and team was a true joy, and I can't wait for listeners to experience it."
