Early 19th century. Regency England. The Bennet family live on Longbourne estate in Hertfordshire. The estate must pass to a male heir, of which the Bennets have none. In order to save the family from destitution upon the death of Mr Bennet, at least one daughter must make an advantageous match. Despite this grim outlook, the clever and outspoken second daughter, Lizzy, is determined to never marry. But her plans for independent spinsterhood are put to the test when the wealthy, mildly handsome, vaguely amusing and entirely irritating Mr. Darcy arrives in Hertfordshire with his best friend, Mr. Bingley. A new, joyful, big-hearted adaptation of a classic novel that brings the satire and playfulness of Austen’s love story to the fore, this is a surprising and timely Pride and Prejudice for the 21st century.Creative TeamMISS BINGLEY Ben BlackMRS BENNET | SERVANT Hazel EadieJANE Erin FlanaganLIZZY Lucy Hagan-WalkerMR DARCY Jimmy KavanaghMR BINGLEY/LADY CATHERINE Catriona Bone McNeillLYDIA Hannah RudgeWICKHAM/CHARLOTTE LUCAS Keegan SiebkenMISS DE BOURGH Kate StephensonMR BENNET | SERVANT Laurence WareingMR COLLINS Ewan WhyteMARY Lois WilliamsDIRECTOR Hannah FitzpatrickASST.
