The award-winning play Pride and Prejudice (sort of) will be staged at York Theatre Royal from November 4 to 9.

This funny, feminist adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel, directed by Isobel McArthur, uses karaoke and comedy to tell the story from the perspective of servants.

Featuring pop classics and rapid costume changes, the play condenses 119 characters into 18 roles performed by five actors.

Winner of an Olivier Award for best comedy, the show highlights overlooked women in art, with no prior knowledge of the novel required.
