Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley
Elizabeth Darcy, née Bennet, invites her sisters to Pemberley for Christmas; Mr. Darcy’s awkward cousin Lord Arthur de Bourgh joins the festivities. Gentle manners and comic misunderstandings build from the relationships among Jane Austen’s well-loved Bennet sisters.
Synopsis:
A sequel to Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, Miss Bennet continuous the story, only this time with bookish middle-sister Mary as its unlikely heroine. Mary is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings’ romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love. “…an unstuffy, highly entertaining and warm-spirited work, the kind of thing multiple generations can enjoy together.” -Chicago Tribune; “…a perfectly constructed love story… Given its fizzy comedy, sweet spirit and clean structure, (Miss Bennet) seems destined to populate future holiday seasons…” -San Francisco Chronicle
.Running Time: approximately 2hrs 15 mins with intermission.
