Austen comes alive at Swine Palace

This month, Swine Palace will launch a two-week run of Joseph Hanreddy and J.R. Sullivan’s adaptation of the classic Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice at the Shaver Theatre. Real-life married couples will bring their experiences to the roles of Elizabeth Bennet, Mr. Darcy, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, and Lord and Lady Lucas. Sparks fly between the rich Mr. Darcy and the independent Elizabeth Bennett—but the titular pride and ingrained class prejudice keep them apart. Can they overcome these obstacles and follow their hearts? Find out in this much-loved romantic drama. swinepalace.org
