Jane Austen's classic novel is brought to life as a three-hander featureing Elizabeth Bennet, her parents and Rev Collins - not to mention Mr Darcy himself!

Jane Austen was born on December 16th 1775 at the rectory at Steventon, near Basingstoke. Except for a brief period of residence in Bath, she lived all her life in Hampshire, a county for which she held great affection.  

An original take on a much loved classic, the play condenses the themes, situations, characters and conflicts whilst retaining the magic and charm of the original. Set against a background of secrecy, this middle class family must readjust themselves to a poor life in the country. Roberta (the only Railway Child on stage) must fend for herself whilst her mother sells stories to live.
