A Jane Austen play that actually passes the Bechdel test.

ARE THE BENNET GIRLS OK?

BY EMILY BREEZE
DIRECTED BY DAVID GOW
BEGINS NOVEMBER 20, 2026

Regional Premiere

Jane is spiraling. Lizzie’s over it. Kitty wants quiet. Lydia is horny. Mary is… also here. Mrs. Bennet needs a drink. And the men? Irrelevant.

In this wild reimagining of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, the Bennet women take center stage as marriage-market panic collides with sisterly chaos. Funny, ferocious, and unexpectedly moving, ARE THE BENNET GIRLS OK? swaps polite Regency Era-manners for messy honesty, asking what survival looks like when romance is a transaction and everyone is performing “fine” when no one really is.

“The Bennet girls may not always be okay, but the play about them is fabulous.”
— Time Out New York
