Plied and Prejudice | Perth

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in Regency England must be in want of a very stiff drink.

From the team behind A Very Naughty Christmas, we’re back to lovingly ruin another cultural icon. Plied and Prejudice is a hilarious adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, telling the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mister Darcy as you’ve never seen it before.

With five actors scrambling to play twenty characters in only eighty minutes, all notions of respectable theatre (and British etiquette) get thrown out the door! And with a different actor getting indisposed each night, no two shows will ever be the same! What could possibly go right?

Bring your eligible bachelors, your unmarried daughters, and the lover you’ll settle for if your cousin won’t have you, for an unhinged night of love, lust, and libations. Settle in with a drink (to calm your poor nerves) and get ready for all the highs and lows that Austen has to offer, from awkward proposals and scandalous elopements, to the wettest of wet t-shirt contests.

Whether you’re an Austen die-hard or you’d rather be watching Die Hard, you’re sure to love it — most ardently!
