Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

by Lauren Gunderson & Margo Melcon

Co-directed by Wanda Oler & Robyn Jeffrey

Romantic Comedy

For Christmas we find ourselves in a softly glowing Victorian sitting room full of the polite pursuits of young love. This celebration of the holidays with familiar faces from Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice will allow us to cap off the Year of Austen.

A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, MISS BENNET continues the story, only this time with bookish middle-sister Mary as its unlikely heroine. Mary is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings’ romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love.

Part of the Pemberley trilogy with The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley and Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley.

MISS BENNET: CHRISTMAS AT PEMBERLEY was originally produced by Northlight Theatre, Chicago, Illinois (BJ Jones, Artistic Director; Timothy Evans, Executive Director).
