Plied, not Pride, and Prejudice

DATE

January 29, 2025

A very different adaptation of Jane Austen classic will have you reaching for a drink!

A fun night out full of madness and mayhem Plied and Prejudice is a side-splitting parody of Jane Austen’s classic novel, brought to you by a hilariously inappropriate cast of actors and musicians.

Telling the tale of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy as you have seen it before Plied and Prejudice invites you to Pemberley for Mr Darcy’s booziest ball. Equal parts performance and party, this immersive show delivers lots of audience participation complete with dance lessons, inappropriate proposals, free flowing drinks brought to you by the servants, that wet shirt scene and cameos from Keira Knightly (not the real one!).

With five actors scrambling to play 20 characters in this chaotic retelling, all notions of respectable theatre (and Regency etiquette) are thrown out the door! Direct from a sellout run in Australia, this is Pride and Prejudice as the BBC would never abide.

Whether you are an Austen die-hard, or you’d rather be watching Die Hard, you’re sure to love it – most ardently! Bring your eligible bachelors, your unmarried daughters, and the lover you will settle for if your cousin won’t have you, for an unhinged night of love, lust and libations.

Perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Bridgerton, Secret Cinema and Punch Drunk. As the blurb says: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in Regency England must be in want of a very stiff drink

Opening at The Vaults in London on 20th March, Plied and Prejudice will run until 18th May with tickets starting at £19 and available from Plied and Prejudice in London: A comedy theatre show. Using a traverse or catwalk style stage, audience members sit opposite each other on the chequered dancefloor of Pemberley’s ballroom watching the story unfold in front of them.
