 Kate Hamill’s version of this classic 19th century story centers of course on the underprivileged Bennet family, whose four daughters are in desperate need of an advantageous marriage. Nearly scaring off every notable suitor is their militant mother. The play explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life while allowing the characters to freely swap identities not just for comedic effect but to make a statement about gender and class norms.

Capturing the hew of Jane Austen’s narrative while pushing the rules of her manners nearly over the edge highlights the irrationalities of the limitations placed on women, and men, in finding a match.
