⭐ PRIDE & PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF) EXTENDS WEST END RUN TO APRIL 2022 ⭐
The critically acclaimed Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of) by Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen has extended its run in the West End, it has been announced.
The booking period has been extended to 17th April 2022 at the Criterion Theatre. Tickets go on sale today at 2:30pm.
Olivier and Tony Award-winning producer David Pugh said “In 40 years of producing in the West End, I have never seen such a phenomenal response to every performance so far and I am delighted that the show will continue on with seat prices that everyone can afford – £9.50 – £59.50 with no premium seats.”
Isobel McArthur’s unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s classic love story was critically acclaimed when it played at Glasgow’s Tron Theatre. Men, money and microphones are fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation, which includes pop classics such as Every Day I Write the Book, Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow, I Got You Babe and You’re So Vain.
Five actresses portray the young female servants who retell one of literature’s most famous stories, and these same five actresses play every other character, as well as singing and playing instruments.
The cast of the original Tron Theatre production have been reunited. Writer and director Isobel McArthur once again plays Darcy and Mrs Bennet. Also in the cast are Tori Burgess as Lydia and Mr Collins, Christina Gordon as Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Jane, Hannah Jarrett-Scott as Charlotte Lucas and Charles Bingley and Meghan Tyler as Lizzie Bennet.
Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of) is directed by Isobel McArthur and Simon Harvey, with comedy staging by Jos Houben, design by Ana Inés Jabares-Pita, lighting by Colin Grenfell, musical supervision by Michael John McCarthy, sound design by Michael John McCarthy and Luke Swaffield for Autograph and choreography by Emily Jane Boyle.
David Pugh presents Tron Theatre Company, the Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh and Blood of the Young’s production of PRIDE & PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF) with co-producers Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Bristol Old Vic, Leeds Playhouse, Northern Stage and Oxford Playhouse.
