The Play
Is there a more lasting romantic comedy than the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy? This classic story set in the Regency era is brought to the stage in a 2005 adaptation that leaves out nothing and remains refreshingly fast paced and entertaining.

Finding a husband among unsuitable suitors consumes Elizabeth's mother and sisters, but she remains independent until she meets Mr. Darcy. Set in a society where snubs and deceit abound, they match both pride and prejudice to reach a happy ending.
