Pride and Prejudice (*sort of)

ABOUT THE PLAY

A hit West End comedy honoured with the prestigious Laurence Olivier Award.

What happens when Jane Austen’s immortal novel falls into the hands of five servants who are tired of remaining in the background? They show us how the famous story really unfolded, play every character, comment on their fates, sing, clear up the aftermath of social disasters and cheekily reveal what goes on behind the doors of the household.

Isobel McArthur’s playful, bold and energetic comedy combines the classic story with pop music, karaoke, rapid costume changes and contemporary humour. The production was a success in London’s West End and won the 2022 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Entertainment or Comedy Play.
