Pride and Prejudice on stage in Houston

Filed under: Stage — Mags @ 12:41 am

A.D. Players will present Pride and Prejudice at the Grace Theatre in Houston, Texas, from July 6 through August 26.

A. D. Players will conclude its 40th Anniversary Season by presenting PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, an original adaptation by James Maxwell, revised by Alan Stanford, from the classic novel of love amid class warfare by Jane Austen…

Set in 19th century England, this classic love story follows the lives of five daughters, all of age and all unmarried. Jane and Elizabeth Bennet, the only two sensible sisters, challenge the snobbery of high-class society in the quest for true love.

The small English country town is turned upside-down when a rich youth from London buys a local manor house and throws a ball for the whole neighborhood. But his aristocratic friend casts a shadow on any chance of romance with a poorer heart. Can love prevail in a society of marriage for money?

Tickets (we cannot tell how much they are from the Web site) are available online or by calling the box office at 713-526-2721.
