It is a truth universally acknowledged that if Darcy and Lizzy had been drunk when they met, it would have been a very different book.
From the company that brought you A Very Naughty Christmas, comes Plied and Prejudice: the story of Elizabeth Bennet as it was never intended. An old-fashioned tale vigorously shaken, muddled with modernity, and garnished with countless unpredictable twists, this zesty theatrical concoction is perfect for Austen amateurs and aficionados alike.
Bring your single men with good fortunes, your unattached sisters, and that weird cousin with a crush on you, for a regency romance more ribald than reputable. Steady your poor nerves with a stiff drink, and strap in for a chaotic evening of amorous hand flexing, terrible proposals, and excellent boiled potatoes! Whether you’re a Firth fanatic or a McFadyen fiend, you’re sure to be bewitched—body and soul!
Plied and Prejudice premiered in Meanjin (Brisbane) in June 2024. It performed more than one hundred shows across its seventeen-week season, and received 4.8/5 stars across over nine hundred reviews.
“…a laugh a minute, energetic and frenetic show designed to tickle the audience’s funny bone…”
“Semple had the audience laughing from start to finish! Combined with Dash Kruck's masterful direction, this production is a match made in comedic heaven.”
“…a bloody hilarious night at the theatre… I truly can’t recommend this more highly.”
