GSC bring their ‘five star’ Pride and Prejudice back to Guildford

Three actors will conjure 17 unforgettable characters over a breathless 120 minutes in Guildford Shakespeare Company’s ‘sparkling’ Pride and Prejudice.

After premiering in Guildford in February last year, the company are bringing the much-loved story back this February for the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth.

Hearts are set racing when eligible bachelors descend on Meryton, sending the Bennet family into a frenzy of emotions and passions. At the centre of all the excitement, the meeting of Lizzie Bennet and Mr Darcy ignites one of the most famous love stories of all time.

Complete with Regency dances, dresses and desires, the faithful adaptation is beautifully choreographed by Amy Lawrence and designed by Neil Irish.

GSC co-founder and producer Matt Pinches said: “When so much work, talent and dedication go into making a piece of theatre it is incredibly rewarding when all that commitment and love receives another life, to be shared with even more people. It’s also very special to know that we’re playing a small role in the 250th anniversary global celebrations of one of the greatest novelists in the English language.”
