In Regency England, love is a serious game and the Bennet sisters are playing for keeps.
The outspoken Lizzy is determined never to marry, but can she resist love, especially when the amusing but mildly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn? Bold, timely, with a few dance breaks thrown in, this is Jane Austen for today.
Produced by Park Square Theatre as part of 2019 season.
In the press:
“The Funniest Thing I’ve Experienced in a Twin Cities Theatre This Year”
“A Heart Pumping Production”
“Director Lisa Channer has staged the play in such a way that we get to watch the actors walk on to the taped off square of a performance space in the middle of Park Square’s completely bare stage, which really makes it feel like a boxing match, or the game of love and marriage that the sisters refer to. She gets consistently funny and over-the-top performances from the hugely talented eight-person ensemble.”
