PRIDE & PREJUDICE
Sententimental comedy in three acts
By HELEN JEROME
(dramatized from Jane Austen’s Novel)
PERFORMANCES – June 7-16 at THEATRE 102
STORY OF THE PLAY –
The play concentrates on Mrs Bennet’s determination to get her daughters married. Jane, Elizabeth and Lydia are likely-looking girls in a period when a woman’s one possible career is matrimony. To be a wife was success. Anything else was failure.
Jane and her Mr Bingley and Lydia with her Mr Wickham are quite content with the god of things as they are – but not Elizabeth! She actually refuses to marry Mr Collins, whom she openly deplores, and Mr Darcy, whom she secretly adores.
The play is the story of the duel between Elizabeth and her pride and Darcy and his prejudice. Each gives in before the play is over, and pride and prejudice meet halfway.
