PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (SORT OF) Comes To The Belgrade In February

The multi-award-winning Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) by Isobel Mcarthur after Jane Austen will play at The Belgrade as part of the 2023 UK tour from Tuesday 7 - Saturday 11 February, with a press performance on Tuesday 7 February.

This unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen's classic love story originally played at Glasgow's Tron Theatre. Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn't be higher when it comes to romance.

It's the 1800s. It's party time. Let the ruthless matchmaking begin.
