Pride and Prejudice

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” In Jane Austen’s most beloved novel, the story of the efforts of Mr. and especially Mrs. Bennett, to find rich husbands for their five dowerless daughters and of the tempestuous relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, has delighted generations of readers for the past two hundred years.

The Gate Theatre’s celebrated staging of the tale returns in June with “every impertinence – every wounding provocation – every teasing smile – every spur – every shock that has led them to this moment when they will be united.”

Adapted for the stage by James Maxwell
