BREAKDOWN
This charming imagined sequel to Jane Austen’s PRIDE AND PREJUDICE brings the Bennet daughters alive again at a Christmas gathering in the home of the Darcys. Elizabeth, now married to Mr. Darcy and Jane (now expecting a child with Charles) are blissfully happy; Lydia, saddled to the ill-suited Mr. Wickham, denies her unhappiness with her continued flirtations. The awkward middle-sister, Mary, has blossomed into an intelligent, curious young woman and now, with the help of fate and her sisters, she meets her soulmate, Mr. Arthur De Bourgh.
All actors must possess facility with text and standard British accents. Actors of ALL ETHNICITIES encouraged to submit.
SEEKING:
MARY BENNET (Female, 20s). Open ethnicity. She is a late bloomer, and the middle sister, who the family believes will end up a spinster. However, the once plain and awkward girl has grown into a smart, intelligently-curious young woman. She doesn’t suffer fools, loves the company of a good book, but is ready to open her heart and mind to the right person. Would prefer an actor who plays the piano, but not essential. Must possess versatile verbal skills and be prepared with a standard British accent.
ELIZABETH BENNET-DARCY (Female, mid-late 20s). Open ethnicity. She is confident, attractive, terribly intelligent and winning. She is perceptive, compassionate, and tolerant. She plays a wonderful hostess to her family during this Christmas holiday. Must possess versatile verbal skills and be prepared with a standard British accent.
LYDIA BENNET-WICKHAM (Female, 20s) Open ethnicity. She is flirtatious and self-centered as ever. Despite her unhappy marriage, Lydia is still the life of any party and capable of stirring up fun and trouble. Must possess versatile verbal skills and be prepared with a standard British accent.
ARTHUR DE BOURGH (Male, 20s) Open ethnicity. He is studious, intelligent, seemingly aloof, and socially awkward - especially around women. He prefers books to people. He is wealthy and capable of great love, though he doesn’t know it until he meets his match in Mary. Must possess versatile verbal skills and be prepared with a standard British accent.
FITZWILLIAM DARCY (Male, early 30s) Open ethnicity. The hero of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, Mr. Darcy is now a generous, loving husband and considerate host. He is quiet, thoughtful, observant; he sees what others miss. He embodies his distinguished pedigree and attractive and highly intelligent. Must possess versatile verbal skills and be prepared with a standard British accent.
CHARLES BINGLEY (Male, late 20s) Open ethnicity. Bingley is generous, kind and happy. He is an attentive and loving husband, doting on his wife, Jane. He is a good friend, always ready to help and meet you with a smile. Must possess versatile verbal skills and be prepared with a standard British accent.
