Pride and
Prejudice
|
| This original full-scale
musical version of Jane Austen's world-famous and well-loved novel Pride
and Prejudice was first performed in concert in May 1986 in Hamilton,
Ontario, under the auspices of Theatre Aquarius, directed by Peter Mandia,
musical direction by Doug Livingston. Now, after some reshaping and with several new songs added, Pride and Prejudice had a fully staged and enthusiastically received production (8 -15 May 2003) at the Ridge Playhouse, Victoria, B.C., directed by Sylvia Hosie.

"The fascinating world of Jane Austen, with all its captivating charm and sparkling wit, springs vividly to life in this brand-new musical, re-telling the well-loved tale of lively Elizabeth Bennet's seemingly impossible romance with the proud, uncommunicative Mr Darcy and how they finally overcome their prejudice against each other. "Other love stories weave in and out of this lilting romantic comedy, against a background of unforgettable melodies that will linger long after you have left the theatre."
