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.

The saga of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy overcoming their, yes, pride and prejudice, in order to find a happy ending, has seduced not just fans of romance but of solid storytelling.

"...Ross Valley Players’ current staged version is a charming, simply-put visit with the manners and mores of the English Regency period...actors lovingly portray their characters...Director Phoebe Moyer uses the mostly bare stage descriptively....scene changes are seamless..."

"It appears that Jon Jory's script and the Ross Valley Players have given this adaptation of Jane's "own darling child" the respect and consideration it should have."

"Ross Valley Players and Jane Austen—a match made in heaven...rich with Austen's clever dialogue, and her outsized characters come entertainingly alive."

"An Austen Heirloom for the Holidays"
"Jon Jory’s 2005 adaptation is a fast-moving, fun presentation of the 1813 Austen classic. Its characters are engaging and their emotions recognizable, but their social environment is almost two centuries away..."
