Pride and Prejudice [4] - Romy Coto

Four proposals, three rejections, two marriages and one scandal: this adaptation of Pride and Prejudice was conceived as a two-act romantic comedy, designed especially for high school, amateur, and semi-professional theatre companies, providing lots of opportunities for female leads and optional multi-generational casting. This superbly written script restores many popular scenes and conversations from the book, often cut from other screen and stage adaptations, and utilizes a much more modern design concept enhanced by contemporary projection elements, lighting, and multifunctional set pieces to help younger, more modern audiences relate to this otherwise traditional period piece. Revisit all your favorite characters here: witty, free-spirited Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters, including the lovely Jane; Mrs. Bennet, who only wants what’s best for her daughters; Mr. Bennet, who has made it his life’s work to affectionately make sport of his wife; and of course, the suitors, Mr. Darcy, Charles Bingley, and George Wickham.see less
