What's On | Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of)
Pride and Prejudice (*sort of) production shot: three actors on stage wearing regency style dresses and Doc Martin boots. All of the actors are pulling cartoonish faces of open mouthed horror. One actor lies on the floor, on their tummy, lifting up her upper body to look out towards the audience. Behind her is a gold and black sofa decorated with a repeating black and gold rose pattern, on top of which an actor is in semi-recline looking out at the audience. Another actor stands behind the sofa, looking off to their right.

IT’S PARTY TIME.
