Calling all Janeites!!

Audition Info for

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice adapted by Kate Hamill

Directed by Karyn Eves

Auditions: November 24 & 26 @ 7pm

WHO: People aged 16 and over, of all ethnicities, genders, and abilities are encouraged to audition.

From Dramatists Play Service: This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen! 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…that the high-stakes game of love?

Logistics

This is a fast-paced adaptation that emphasizes the critique on manners and lays into the sexual innuendos. The marriage market is seen as a battle or boxing match, but much of the dialogue is still pulled directly from the novel.

​​Rehearsals will start after Thanksgiving and continue through December and January. Character prep will be high priority as the play requires in-depth familiarity with the novel.

The show dates are February 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, & 22, 2025.

Casting will be fluid and flexible based on availability and interest of actors. Can be cast with as many as 14 actors or as few as 8 actors with characters gender-bending and actors doubling for supporting roles. 3 roles are female and are marked with (F). All others can be any gender or genderless. Lead roles CANNOT be combined with any other role.
