Our stage extravaganza continues
We are delighted with all these stage productions of Jane Austen novels lately; we just wish they were being staged somewhere closer to AustenBlog World Headquarters!
Tucson Weekly reviews the Arizona Theatre Company production of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. One thumb up, sort of.
This would be a fabulous production if it weren’t for one thing: The depiction of the central character is absolutely wrong.
Yikes!
The Tucson Citizen also gives the play a mixed review.
Curiously, the actor who makes the strongest impression has the least to say. He is tall and stately Anthony Marble as the reticent Mr. Darcy. With his striking profile straight from an ancient Greek coin, Marble can dominate a scene just by standing there - which he does a lot.
*swoooon* and *giggle*

haha…do they have pictures of said Mr.Darcy? Any man that can dominate a scene my just standing around is worth getting a look at. *giggles*

Wooh! Mr. Darcy is something! Love his curls! But I almost swooned at the sight of Mr. Wickham! It would definately be easy to beileve him!!
Interesting the girl who plays Lydia also plays Georgiana Darcy!

I saw this production at a matinee on Saturday and loved it. It was witty, romantic and right on the money. Anthony Marble as Mr Darcy owned every scene he was in, just the right mixture of ego with a slightest hint of vulnerability. He looked perfect, taking your breath away as he walked out in his period costume like he was born to it.
