Plied & Prejudice

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in Regency England must be in want of a very stiff drink.

A new take on Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy’s story, Plied and Prejudice invites you to Pemberley for Mr Darcy’s booziest ball. With five actors scrambling to play twenty characters in this chaotic retelling, all notions of respectable theatre (and Regency etiquette) are thrown out the door.

Using a traverse or catwalk style stage, audience members sit opposite each other on the chequered dancefloor of Pemberley’s ballroom watching the story unfold in front of them. Equal parts performance and party, this immersive show delivers lots of audience participation complete with dance lessons, inappropriate proposals, free flowing drinks brought to you by the servants, that wet shirt scene and cameos from Keira Knightley (sadly not the real one).

Venue: The Vaults Launcelot St, London SE1 7AD
Note: Strictly 18+. Contains drug and alcohol references, coarse and sexual language, inappropriate jokes, loud music, and the wettest of wet t-shirt contests. You have been warned; aka don’t threaten me with a good time.
