Pride and Prejudice - Jermyn Street

[bee]

I saw this last night and liked it a lot. It's similar to the recent Northanger Abbey at The Orange Tree in as much as a 3-person cast covers all of the characters, but it's a lot better than that was. All of the actors are very good, and they get the tone about right, making fun of the genre, but not to the extent that a proper Jane Austen fan couldn't still enjoy it.

They do rather skip over parts of the book (including what I would consider one of the most important scenes), and from time to time Elizabeth narrates events rather than us getting to see them. I also felt that everything after the interval was a bit rushed. But on the whole, an enjoyable night out.

It's about 2 hours 10 mins, including an interval.
