Pride & Prejudice by Kate Hamill

Based on the novel by Jane Austen, this bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely play explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. Can she resist love when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn? Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. What turns us into greater fools than the high-stakes game of love? Directed by Annelise Wardwell. Tickets available at thecountyplayers.org and at the door. Adults $15/Children $10. Show dates/times: April 18, 19, 25 at 7 pm. April 26 at 2 pm. Gauvin Family Center for Cultural Arts, Wieden Hall, University of Maine at Presque Isle.
