Direct from its triumph in London's West End, where it won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy, this unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen's most iconic love story, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) comes to Wollongong!
Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the romance stakes couldn't be higher.
Lizzie and Jane may have found their match, but now the story is in the hands of the servants of Longbourne!
You might have seen them before, emptying the chamber pots and sweeping ash from the grate — the overlooked and the undervalued making sure those above stairs find their happy ending. Of course, these women have always been running the show — after all, “You can't have a whirlwind romance without clean bedding” — but now the servants are also playing every part. Let the ruthless match-making begin!
Full of massive pop-hits, this karaoke-fuelled and raucous night out comes to Wollongong as five fearless performers bring Austen's world to life with heart, humour and unstoppable energy.
