Mark your calendar for January 27 – 29 to watch Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy fall in love all over again – this time filtered through the world of the internet. In Pride @Prejudice, modern voices interject and build on this classic love story in the form of blog posts, chat room discussions, quotes from film adaptations, and even letters from author Jane Austen to create a delightfully postmodern view of 19th century England.
The play will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, January 27 and Saturday, January 28; and at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, January 29. General Admission tickets cost $6 and go on sale January 23. They can be purchased online at www.wchstheatre.org. Seating is limited to 130. This will be a black box play, a relatively recent innovation in theatre that features a somewhat unadorned performance space – usually a large, square room with black walls and a flat floor. Actors and audience members will all be on stage for this production, a ¾ thrust.
