Pride & Prejudice
Dramatized by Claudia Haas from the novel by Jane Austen
Produced by special arrangement with Eldridge Publishing Co.
This is a humorous story of love and life among English gentility during the Georgian era. Mr. Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hartfordshire with his overbearing wife and their five daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty, and the wild Lydia. Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr. Bennet dies, their house will be inherited by a distant cousin who they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security is dependent on the daughters making good marriages. Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr. Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country. Mr. Bingley brings with him his sister, Caroline, and the dashing (and richer), but proud, Mr. Darcy. Love is soon in the air for one of the Bennet sisters, while another may have jumped to a hasty prejudgment. For the Bennet sisters, many trials and tribulations stand between them and their happiness.
