Outdoor theatre: Pride and Prejudice by Illyria
7pm - 9.20pm
With her tongue firmly in her cheek, Jane Austen tells us “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” Mrs Bennet certainly thinks so. So when Mr Bingley – single, young, handsome, and with £5000 a year – moves into nearby Netherfield Park, she devotes all her energy to contriving for Jane, the eldest of her five daughters, to meet him.
But even Mrs Bennet draws the line at Mr Bingley’s disdainful friend Mr Darcy despite his whopping £10,000 a year. Thank heavens Lizzy, her second daughter, finds him detestable too! Or does she…?
Following seven sell-out seasons of this sparkling adaptation, award-winning Illyria returns to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in style. Bring a picnic and enjoy her at her vibrant, forthright, bitchy best!
Pride & Prejudice will be performed in the beautiful grounds of Stainborough Castle. This is an outdoor production, so please bring your own seating/rug, suitable clothing and a picnic.
The performance will run from 7pm - 9.20pm including a 20 minute interval. Doors open at 6pm, allowing you extra time to explore the gardens out of usual visitor hours.
Please note, the distance from the Visitor car park to the Castle is around 1km, up a hill.
