Pride And Prejudice* (*Sort Of) by Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen, is returning to Scotland following a hugely successful West End run at the Criterion Theatre where it won the prestigious Olivier Award for Best Comedy.
The play will run at Aberdeen’s His Majesty’s Theatre from Thursday, October 13, to Saturday, October 15.
This unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen's classic love story was originally commissioned to 28 year old Isobel by Glasgow's Tron Theatre in 2018.
It was performed at the Lyceum in Edinburgh and had a short UK tour before opening in the West End in 2021.
Pride And Prejudice* (*Sort Of) is the first Tron commissioned show to win an Olivier Award.
Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance.
The show features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain.
It’s the 1800s, it’s party time...let the ruthless matchmaking begin.
The cast of the award winning West End and Tron Theatre production have been reunited.
Olivier Award winning writer and director Isobel McArthur once again plays Darcy and Mrs Bennet.
Also in the cast are the Olivier Award nominated Tori Burgess as Lydia and Mr Collins; Olivier Award nominated Christina Gordon as Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Jane; BroadwayWorld.com Award winner and Stage Debut Awards nominee Hannah Jarrett Scott as Charlotte Lucas and Charles Bingley and Leah Jamieson who made her West End debut in Pride and Prejudice* (*Sort Of) at the Criterion Theatre as Lizzie Bennet,
