Department of Performing Arts presents Pride and Prejudice
Written by Jane Austen, Directed by Kevin Otos
McCrary Theatre, Thursday-Saturday, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, 2 p.m.
Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet’s most urgent priority. However, with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother and a string of unsuitable suitors, it’s difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined to resist his looks and wealth, and instead pursue her true feelings – but the truth is not as clear as one might expect. Can Elizabeth, Darcy and their families look beyond their pride and prejudice for the betterment of all?
At 7 p.m. Friday, April 20, Professor of English Rosemary Haskell will present a short talk on Jane Austen and Pride and Prejudice on the steps of McCrary Theatre. This lively and informative talk is sure to enhance your play-going experience and we encourage you to take advantage of this special event!
Admission: $12 or Elon ID. Tickets available March 29.
