Gateway Theatre proudly presents Pride & Prejudice, a fresh, fast-paced adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel by acclaimed playwright Kate Hamill. Running from April 17 to April 26, this production marks the show of Gateway Theatre's 40th Anniversary Season.
"Gateway Theatre's incredible 40th season has been filled with musical theatre classics, lunar new year celebrations, original puppetry and now an inventive take on a literary classic," said Barbara Tomasic, Gateway Theatre executive artistic director. "While celebrating four decades of outstanding theatre in Richmond and the Lower Mainland it only seems fitting to close out our season with a classic work told from a fresh perspective. This production celebrates everything Gateway Theatre stands for—bold storytelling, reimagined classics, and a commitment to theatrical excellence."
Follow the outspoken Elizabeth Bennet, whose determination not to bow to the societal pressure of marriage is challenged by the charmingly handsome, mildly amusing and remarkably ubiquitous Mr. Darcy. With fast-paced staging and seamless character switches, this production promises a hilarious and heartwarming frolic for long-time Jane Austen fans and newcomers alike. Don't miss out on the wit, whimsy and romance—a highly entertaining tale for audiences twelve years of age and older.
Known for her inventive and feminist take on literary classics, Hamill brings new life to Pride & Prejudice with a delightful reimagining that embraces the wit and social critique of Austen while making the story accessible to a modern audience with its screwball comedy and galloping pace.
