Pride and Prejudice
In 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?
“But beneath PRIDE AND PREJUDICE’s laughs, there’s a core, more delicate sensibility — a wry, keen awareness that regards, with squinted eye, people warts and all. This PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is blissful mirth —a special potion of affectionate, bemused cynicism and realistic optimism about human nature...”— Berkshire Edge
