Stage production of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE in Omaha
The Brigit Saint Brigit Theatre Company of the College of Saint Mary in Omaha, Nebraska, is currently staging a production of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. The play runs through April 3. The link has a phone number for ticket information.
The production has engendered a bit of a slapfight in the local press. Bob Fischbach, writing in the Omaha World-Herald, gave the production a lukewarm review, finding it a bit stiff and proper.
So in check are the emotions, so refined the language, so strictured the manners of polite society, it’s a wonder any lives get lived at all.
Warren Francke took umbrage in The Reader:
We’re talking about a romantic comedy where proposals fill the air like confetti at a parade on Broadway — where hopes are dashed and then revived, where idiots keep making complete asses of themselves to our perpetual amusement, where total ruin or total triumph hangs on every artful word.
Now, boys. Can we settle this over a cup of tea? Perhaps with a drop of Tullamore Dew? Dorothy’s ready to oblige at a word.
As always, we would be delighted to post a reader review of this production.
