The multi-award-winning PRIDE & PREJUDICE* (*SORT OF) by Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen will visit the Theatre Royal Nottingham from Monday 27 March to Saturday 1 April 2023, as part of a highly successful national tour.

The production’s writer and co-director, Isobel McArthur, has won both the Evening Standard Emerging Talent Award and The Olivier Award for Best Comedy or Entertainment in 2022, an unprecedented achievement for a young female writer.

The show features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain. It’s the 1800s. It’s party time. Let the ruthless matchmaking begin.
