Pride and Prejudice - In Production
This is Jane Austen… but not as she knew it.
We have relocated her world to 1820s Australia, where society is still being assembled in real time, manners are under construction, and reputation can be lost somewhere between breakfast and a regimental dance.
Pride and Prejudice - Edge of the Colony
This is a fast-moving, ensemble-driven production with significant role doubling, requiring versatility, clarity of storytelling, and strong character work. Actors should be comfortable switching tone, status, and physicality between roles. Everyone dances.
