Pride and Prejudice
Following the series of creative adaptations of classical literature comes Pride and Prejudice, a retelling of Jane Austen’s novel.
Described as “not your grandmother’s Austen”, the collaboration between Belmont University’s Department of Theater and the Nashville Shakespeare Festival features a similar narrative to the classic with a modern twist. Similar to Austen’s Elizabeth, Lizzy Bennet is determined not to be married. But when Mr. Darcy begins popping up at every turn, Lizzy finds it increasingly difficult to resist the man’s charm.
Be sure to tune into Lizzy Bennet and Mr. Darcy’s “will They, won’t they” at Belmont University’s Troutt Theater beginning February 20th. For more information, visit the Nashville Shakespeare Festival.
