Pride and Prejudice at University of Dundee Botanic Garden

With her tongue firmly in her cheek, Jane Austen tells us It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. Mrs Bennet certainly thinks so. So when Mr Bingley single, young, handsome, and with 5000 a year moves into nearby Netherfield Park, she devotes all her energy to contriving for Jane, the eldest of her five daughters, to meet him during rural Hertfordshires whirlwind of social balls. But even Mrs Bennet draws the line at Mr Bingleys disdainful friend Mr Darcy despite his whopping 10,000 a year. Thank heavens Lizzy, her second daughter, finds him detestable too! Or does she? Can she see beyond his pride and could he overcome her prejudice to consider a possible future together?

Following seven sell-out seasons of this sparkling adaptation, award-winning Illyria returns to celebrate Jane Austens 250th birthday in style. Bring a picnic and enjoy her at her vibrant, forthright, bitchy best!
