Outdoor Theatre: Pride and Prejudice

Join Illyria as they return to the grounds of Corfe Castle this summer with their sparkling adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Bring a blanket, picnic and get ready for an evening of enchanting entertainment.

Illyria’s production of Jane Austen’s glorious social comedy attracted sell-out audiences for a total of six years. It toured throughout the UK and Europe, attracted nationwide critical acclaim.

In a whirlwind of balls, dinners and very eligible officers, Lizzy Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy stand alone as the only sane, thoughtful people – and they hate each other! Or do they? Can she see beyond his pride, and can he overcome her prejudice, in order to achieve happiness?

If your idea of Jane Austen is stuffy costume drama then this sparkling adaptation may make you change your mind. Bring a picnic and have a ball as the irrepressible Illyria sharpen their claws to bring you Jane Austen at her best!

Running time (approx): 2hrs 20min (including 20 minute interval) Suitable for ages 8+
