Pride & Prejudice (sort of) – Richmond Theatre 7.30pm Monday 24 February 2025

I got a reduced price ticket in the Black Friday sale. The view was good and only slighly spoilt by the poor rake in the stalls.

It was a funny show with a lot of laughs, particularly if you are familiar with the novel and the BBC adaptation from the 1990s.

A cast of 5 play the overlooked servants and they act out the story of the Bennett sisters in their search for husbands. With a lot of quick changes they portray the main characters and it was a lot of fun.

They also had a short pre-show where they walked down the aisles, cleaning and dusting the auditorium.
