Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of) is a great reminder to keep supporting fringe theatre - it's wonderful to see this show still going strong and selling well in large touring houses like Mayflower Theatre!

Here the story is told by the servants with the help of a multitude of costume changes and some karaoke classics. The small cast of five work overtime but have such great chemistry and brilliant comedic timing.
