Jermyn Street Theatre To Present PRIDE & PREJUDICE

Jermyn Street Theatre has announced the cast for Guildford Shakespeare Company's sparkling production of Pride & Prejudice, which plays at the theatre from August 19 to September 7.

Three actors bring a host of unforgettable characters to life in this London premiere of Abigail Pickard Prices's hilarious, inventive adaptation of Jane Austen's beloved romantic comedy.

The Bennet family's peaceful world is upended when a host of eligible bachelors descend upon the neighbourhood. Hearts race, tongues wag, and passions and possibilities swirl all around the Hertfordshire Hills. At the centre of the storm, the meeting of Lizzie Bennet and Mr Darcy sets off one of literature's most iconic love stories.

April Hughes (Romeo and Juliet – Guildford Shakespeare Company, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – West End) takes the roles of Lizzie Bennet and others, whilst Luke Barton (Busman's Holiday – Mill at Sonning, One Man Two Guvnors – New Wolsey Theatre and Nuffield Theatre) plays Mr Bennet and others and Sarah Gobran (co-founder of Guildford Shakespeare Company) plays Mrs Bennet and others. 

Pride & Prejudice is adapted by Abigail Pickard Price with Sarah Gobran and Matt Pinches.  The production is directed by Abigail Pickard Price, with set and costume design by Neil Irish.  The assistant designer and costume supervisor is Anett Black.  Lighting design is by Matt Dymock and sound design is by Matt Eaton.  The movement director is Amy Lawrence.

Artistic Director of Jermyn Street Theatre Stella Powell-Jones says –

I was lucky enough to see Abigail Pickard Price's production of Pride & Prejudice earlier this year at GSC. I left totally entranced by the wit, charm and love of Abi's adaptation and by Sarah, April and Luke's virtuosic multi-rolling brings all of Austen's beloved creation to the stage.
