Pride and Prejudice

PrideandPrejudice.jpg

By Jane Austen

Directed by Lexi von Hoffmann

Hertfordshire 1813. Mrs Bennet is facing a whole lot of problems: five unmarried daughters, no money to give them when they get married, and a husband who only has a passing interest in her worries. If only she could catch her new – and rich! – neighbour, Mr Bingley, for one of her girls! If only daughter Elizabeth hadn’t acted on her prejudices and convinced Bingley’s proud friend Darcy (who is even richer!) that she is not good enough for him! And if only the rest of the Bennet girls weren’t so bookish, so silly or so easily influenced by unworthy men! She can only hope that in the end love will conquer all.

This production was the Hamburg Players'  celebration of the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice!
