A Bold, Fast-Paced, and Hilariously Modern Take on a Literary Classic
Barnesville, GA — Gordon State College Theatre will present Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Pride and Prejudice in the Fine Arts Theatre April 9–11 at 6:30 p.m., with a Saturday matinee on April 12 at 2:00 p.m.
Kate Hamill’s wildly popular adaptation offers a vibrant, contemporary reimagining of Jane Austen’s beloved novel. Infused with slapstick comedy, modern sensibilities, and dynamic staging, this production transforms the familiar period drama into a fast-paced theatrical experience that speaks directly to today’s audiences.
At the center of the story is the fiercely independent Lizzie Bennet, a young woman determined to chart her own future despite the rigid expectations of society. Her convictions are challenged by the arrival of the aloof and enigmatic Mr. Darcy, sparking a series of witty misunderstandings and unexpected encounters that explore love, class, and personal growth.
Often described as a screwball comedy, Hamill’s adaptation features a small ensemble cast playing multiple roles, heightening the humor and theatrical energy. Contemporary movement, playful anachronisms, and moments that break the fourth wall invite the audience into the story with immediacy and joy.
Director Lisa Cesnik Ferguson notes that the adaptation aligns perfectly with both her artistic philosophy and student-centered approach:
“My commitment to making classical works profoundly accessible to modern audiences is a perfect match for this adaptation and our students. Only in such a fresh adaptation do I feel free to add juggling and games in every inch of this production—which reveals the sport involved in finding love.”
Critics have praised the adaptation for its bold theatricality and kinetic storytelling. The New Yorker lauded Hamill’s work for creating “kinetic stage concoctions” that bring classic novels vividly to life. While unapologetically comedic, the production also offers a thoughtful examination of societal norms and the courage it takes to defy them.
This lively and inventive Pride and Prejudice promises an engaging evening of theatre for longtime Jane Austen fans and newcomers alike.
