Mr Bennet’s Bride

In cleverly layered comedy Mr Bennet’s Bride, Emma Wood looks back and explores the vexing question of how ill-suited parents of Elizabeth Bennet, portrayed with such humour in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, came to be married to each other in the first place.  How did bookish and reclusive James Bennett came to be married to the ridiculous but ambitious and pragmatic Mrs Bennet?
Producer and director, Claire Evans is delighted to be back at the Vera Fletcher Hall following successful visits with Home at Seven and ​One Christmas Carol in 2025.
Written by Australian writer, this production is the professional World premiere and comes to the VFH following a run at OSO in Barnes
