Review: Miss Bennet Christmas at Pemberley

As written by TheatreWorks Silicon Valley:

Following its hit stage adaptations of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, and Emma, TheatreWorks returns to the Regency with this Pride and Prejudice sequel that is perfect for the whole family. This charming romantic comedy full of festive fun stars a different Bennet sister: bookish Mary, who is tired of being in the middle of her sisters’ romantic mishaps. A new guest’s arrival at Pemberley for the holidays offers Mary the chance to take control of her story.

Directed by TheatreWorks Associate Producer of Casting & Literary Management Jeffrey Lo, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley will be presented December 4-29, 2024 (press opening: December 7) at Lucie Stern Theatre, 1305 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto.

Today, we saw Miss Bennet Christmas at Pemberley at the Lucie Stern, Palo Alto. Inna purchased excellent seats B105/106 in the center of the second row.

The TheatreWorks production centers on the middle sister Mary and her unexpected romantic interest in Arthur De Bourgh, during Christmas at Darcy's Estate in Pemberley. 

It follows in the footsteps of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice with language (and plot lines ) that mimics Austen's. I found it to be amusing and enjoyable.
