Acclaimed West End Sensation Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) Opens at the Liverpool Playhouse Theatre

The multi-award-winning theatrical comedy Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) has officially launched its highly anticipated winter run at the Liverpool Playhouse Theatre tonight. This radical, pop-clever reimagining of Jane Austen’s classic romance features an all-female cast playing multiple roles, using karaoke pop anthems and sharp physical comedy to tell the historic literary story from the perspective of the servants. Theatre managers reported an enthusiastic opening-night crowd, pulling a vibrant mix of traditional literature students and contemporary comedy tourists into Williamson Square. The high-energy production is set to anchor Liverpool’s evening theatre scene for the next two weeks, with organizers scheduling early evening performances to accommodate the high volume of weekend visitors traveling to the city centre.
