Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

The Bennet family reunite for the festive season in Pemberley. Elizabeth and Jane seem to have found the lives they were always destined for, Mary Bennet remains trapped by the role everyone has written for her: the awkward sister, the afterthought, the woman no one expects to surprise them. That is until Lord Arthur de Bourgh arrives for the festivities, offering Mary the possibility of a wholly different future.  Smart, funny and emotionally incisive, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley gives Jane Austen‘s most overlooked heroine the story she was never allowed to have.  Rewriting the narrative about identity, belonging and quiet courage. This UK premiere of Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon‘s play is both a loving continuation of Austen’s world and a fresh, contemporary drama of its own.
