Pride and Prejudice at Tonbridge Castle
Following seven sell-out seasons of this sparkling adaptation, award-winning Illyria returns to Tonbridge Castle to celebrate Jane Austen’s 250th birthday in style.
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 during rural Hertfordshire’s whirlwind of social balls. 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…? Can she see beyond his pride – and could he overcome her prejudice – to consider a possible future together?
Bring your own seating/rug, suitable clothing and picnic. Light refreshments available to purchase. Well-behaved dogs on leads are permitted. Venue is wheelchair accessible.
