Pride and Prejudice in Seattle
The Seattle Public Theatre will produce Pride and Prejudice this May as part of their youth education program. Admission is free, with a suggested donation to support the youth program scholarship fund. Performances are Friday, May 4 at 7:00 pm; Saturday, May 5 at 2:00 and 7:00 pm; Sunday, May 6 at 2:00 pm.
Filled with terrific, strong characters, this is a funny and fast-paced adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible to look beyond pride and prejudice to find happiness? Find out what happens when truth turns out to be slippier than it seems; how to fit in and assert your independence; and how to skewer your opponent with the perfectly polite arrow of wit.
Seattle Public Theatre is located at the historic Bathhouse on Green Lake (see link for maps and directions). A stroll around Green Lake provides ample opportunity to brighten fine eyes with exercise, as well as dredge a petticoat in six inches of mud. Several nearby restaurants might make suitable pre- or post-show Janeite gathering places, in particular the Chocolati Café. Just saying.
