Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

This Christmas, return to the world of Pride and Prejudice... but from an entirely different perspective.At Pemberley, the Bennet family reunites for the festive season.

While Elizabeth and Jane seem to have found the lives they were always destined for, Mary Bennet remains trapped by the role everyone has written for her: the awkward sister, the afterthought, the woman no one expects to surprise them.That is until Lord Arthur de Bourgh arrives for the festivities, offering Mary the possibility of a wholly different future.Smart, funny and emotionally incisive, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley gives Jane Austen's most overlooked heroine the story she was never allowed to have.

Exploring identity, belonging and the quiet courage it takes to rewrite your own narrative, this UK premiere of Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon's smash hit play is both a loving continuation of Austen's world and a fresh, contemporary drama of its own.Whether you're returning to Austen or meeting the Bennets for the first time, this is a witty, surprising and deeply human play about family loyalties, old assumptions and the possibility of becoming exactly who you were never expected to be.Dementia Friendly:Tuesday, 15th December, 3:00pmCaptioned:Saturday, 9th January, 3:00pmAudio Described:Thursday, 17th December, 3:00pm
