About
“What does it matter which one he chooses? We have a horde of them! Any one of them will do!”
A bold new take on Pride and Prejudice, created by the award-winning theatre ensemble Bloomshed. Built from the depths of the housing crisis, this adaptation sees Austen’s classic re-imagined for 2025. It’s fierce. It’s funny. It’s all about fortune. Pride and Prejudice is back, and this time, love is a high-stakes game in the cutthroat world of the upper crust.
In the world of Pride and Prejudice, a housing shortage has transformed romantic relationships into calculating transactions. Female desire is subordinated to social obligation, as families strive to climb the social ladder. Love is limited to the pursuit of an “advantageous marriage,” and everyone is reduced to the value of their assets. Pride and Prejudice deals with issues of class, power, and oppressive gender roles.
