Show summary: Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores
the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken
Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can
she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly
aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent
love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation.
Because what turns us into greater fools...than the high-stakes game of love?
