Pride and Prejudice on stage in Cleveland and Edmonton
Alert Janeite Lisa wrote to tell us that Case Western University/Cleveland Play House graduate acting program is currently staging a production of Pride and Prejudice at the Cleveland Play House. Tickets are $32 and $58 and are available online. Cleveland.com has an article about the production and the Cleveland Plain Dealer has a review.
Alert Janeite Jessica let us know that a new adaptation of Pride and Prejudice will be staged by the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton from September 20 to October 12, 2008. From the media release:
This classic tale of love and values unfolds in the class-conscious England of the late eighteenth century. The five Bennet sisters have been raised by their mother to have one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Among the man’s sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets the handsome and - it would seem - snobbish Mr. Darcy, the battle of the sexes is joined.
