Pride and Prejudice
written by and featuring Kate Hamill
directed by Amanda Dehnert
presented in a co-production with The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival

This fall, acclaimed writer and actress Kate Hamill (Bedlam’s Sense and Sensibility) will debut her playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic romance, Pride and Prejudice. The outspoken Elizabeth Bennet faces mounting pressure from her status-conscious mother to secure a suitable marriage. But is marriage suitable for a woman of Elizabeth’s intelligence and independence? Especially when the irritating, aloof, self-involved… tall, vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aristocratic Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! What? Why are you looking at us like that? Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent new adaptation.

The cast of Pride and Prejudice includes Mark Bedard (“The Knick”) as “Wickham,” “Miss Bingley,” and “Mr. Collins;” Kimberly Chatterjee (The Christians) as “Lydia” and “Lady Catherine;” Kate Hamill (Vanity Fair) as “Lizzy;” Jason O'Connell (Sense & Sensibility) as “Mr. Darcy;” Amelia Pedlow (The Liar) as “Jane” and “Miss De Bourgh;” Chris Thorn (The Big Broadcast on East 53^rd) as “Charlotte Lucas” and “Mr. Bennet;” John Tufts (Fashions for Men) as “Bingley” and “Mary;” and Nance Williamson (Romeo and Juliet) as “Mrs. Bennet.””

Post-performance talkbacks led by a member of the artistic staff will follow performances on Tuesday, November 21; Sunday, December 3; and Tuesday, December 12.
