Pride and Prejudice Adaptation by Jon Jory
Directed by Christie Vela | Produced by Shakespeare Dallas
Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet’s most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it’s difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all?
“Shakespeare Dallas’ sparkling production of Jon Jory’s adaptation of Pride and Prejudice exceeds high expectations thanks to director Christie Vela…There is not a weak spot in this cast which makes for a satisfying ensemble experience.”
“Kitty (Kat Lozano) and Mary (Marisa Duran) filled out the energetic residents of the Longbourn estate, rendering classic and strong depictions of these lively supporting characters.”
