Pride & Prejudice at Shorecrest High School

Shorecrest Drama is proud to present Pride and Prejudice---a classic story brought to fresh, playful life in a new adaptation by Kate Hamill.

Not familiar with the Jane Austen novel? Here's the gist: "The outspoken Elizabeth Bennet faces mounting pressure from her status-conscious mother to secure a suitable marriage. But is marriage suitable for a woman of Elizabeth’s intelligence and independence? Especially when the irritating, aloof, self-involved…tall, vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aristocratic Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?!" Hamill's adaptation serves up a highly theatrical game of love, infusing Austen's dialogue with fast-paced, screwball, contemporary parlance, and offering a progressive spin on a literary favorite.

Pride and Prejudice will run from Thursday, November 8, through Sunday, November 11, and again the following weekend, Thursday, November 15 through Sunday, November 18. Evening performance times are 7:30pm on Thursdays-Saturdays; matinees are at 2:00pm each Sunday.
