Kick off your satin slippers, hoist up your muddy hems and enjoy the party of the (19th) century at Plied and Prejudice. The comedy theatre show is set to stumble into London arts venue The Vaults on March 15breaking all the rules of Austen-era etiquette with a hysterical adaptation of the iconic novel. You’ll need to forget everything you know about ‘respectable’ theatre and embrace the chaos as five talented actors take on the roles of 20 characters with riotously funny results.
What happens at Plied and Prejudice?
Plied and Prejudice invites you to experience a rib-tickling retelling of a much-loved tale, fuelled by fantastically funny performances and a libation or two…or maybe three. If poetry is the food of love then this comedy show is a tall drink of laughter, inciting the giggles with shambolic dances, awkwardly ardent proposals and, of course, the crucial element of any period drama production, a wettest of wet t-shirt contest.
In what Mr Collins would call the most excellent thing since boiled potatoesthis is where party and performance combine forces to put on a fun-filled interactive show. Live actors unleash their transformative acting chops as they play a range of well-known characters, ranging from the scandalously impulsive Lydia to the graciously patient Jane. You’ll be immersed in the love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy, but with a tad less decorum than Regency society would deem acceptable. Ok, a lot less.
Fresh off a hugely successful run in Australia, Plied and Prejudice is sure to have you leaving with aching ribs and a giddy grin plastered on your face. The show has already proved a hit with Aussie audiences and now it’s your turn. You don’t need to be in possession of a good fortune to receive an invitation to the boozy ball, just call up your fellow Austen aficionados (or even Darcy-esque sceptics – they are sure to be won over) and grab your tickets today to enjoy a side-splitting evening this Spring.
