Pride and Prejudice, an adaptation in words and music is the theatrical retelling of Jane Austen’s most famous work. The enduring story of the romance between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy is presented in an intimate drawing-room setting, in much the same way that Jane herself first read the story aloud to the Austen family and their closest friends. Film, television and stage icon, Nadine Garner brings to life Austen’s most famous manuscript with a sublime musical accompaniment. Weaving around Austen’s own words is Carl Davis' magical score from the much-loved BBC TV drama series of Pride and Prejudice, widely considered the most seminal television adaptation of the author’s work.

Piano accompaniment will be performed by Australia’s next generation, rising star concert pianist Daniel Le. Having already enjoyed an international career spanning four continents, he has been described as an incredibly versatile soloist, chamber musician and innovative artist. Melbourne born Daniel was hailed by the New York Concert Review as a “brilliant young pianist.”
