Pride and Prejudice

Customer Reviews

"Smart and funny. Pride and Prejudice was a joy to produce and full of the ever-sought-after strong female roles. Perfect for high-school productions. Jane Austen would be proud."

Review by Jenny Stopher, Christian Education Consortium, Charlestown, Ind.

"Very fun play to perform with a large female cast! The heightened language is a challenge for the actorsÑand they rise to the occasion! Very funny and witty dialogueÑa real audience pleaser!"

Review by Danyah Arafat-Johnson, Dawson Middle School, Southlake, Texas

Review by Heidi Isaac, Colorado Springs Christian School, Colorado Springs, Colo.

"This was a well-written adaptation that covers the story in an ideal amount of time. All the best of Jane Austen's lines are included. Our students enjoyed producing/performing it. And the audience loved it."

Review by Nancy Frey, Victory Christian School, Albuquerque, N.M.

"We loved it! It was a fantastic adaptation of Austen's book! I'm glad we decided to do this play! The audience loved it and laughed out loud many times. It is wonderful that it is just one set!"

Review by Jenny Johnson, New Castle Christian Academy, New Castle, Del.

"Because all of the action takes place in the Bennet household, this version is user friendly. Its sole focus on Mrs. Bennet's attempts to marry off her daughters makes it easier for audiences unfamiliar with the story to follow it. For the connoisseur, it is a "greatest hits," containing all the famous scenes and lines from Austen's novel."

Review by Dora Myers, Shenendehowa High School West, Clifton Park, N.Y.

"This was a great synopsis of [the novel]Ñvery humorous. There were many details in the blocking which was very helpful. Our production was very successfulÑfive sold-out shows! We played Hill as a manservant; that worked very well."

Review by Tracy and Karen Sattler, Sattler Academy, Minnetonka, Minn.

"This was an amazingly good adaptation of the novel. The theatrical elements were exceptional, and both the actors and audience thoroughly enjoyed the show."

Review by Marissa Meek, Lehman High School, Kyle, Texas

"Finally! A do-able stage adaptation of my favorite novel! The unit set design made this production really shine as we were able to really dazzle in a historically realistic way without going over our modest budget!"

Review by Carol-Ann Black, Big Girl Productions, Lincoln Park, Mich.

"This is a great play with great parts for every actor. The play does a terrific job interpreting Jane Austen's original intent in a single-set stage set-up."

Review by Shawn McMaster, Allendale Public Schools, Allendale, Mich.

"This is the third time in 25 years we have performed Pride and Prejudice, and it again pleased cast and audience alike. The script is a faithful adaptation of a great novel and provides wonderful comic roles for Mrs. Bennet and Collins, who always manage to steal the show."

Review by Robert Walton, The Christian Academy, Brookhaven, Pa.

"An outstanding venue for a large, talented female cast and several "starring" roles for a real showcase. The best of the novel, providing delightful entertainment for an audience. Everyone who read the script fell in love with the story and characters."

Review by Michael Self, Annie Wright School, Tacoma, WA

"The play was incredible. Everyone who saw "Pride and Prejudice" laughed at Lydia and Catherine and cried with Jane and Elizabeth. It was different and exciting not only for those in the cast, but also for those who were part of the audience."

"Pride and Prejudice's adaptation by Jane Kendall was right on. It captured all of the main points in a very entertaining stage play. It has humor and sadness and energy. I found it very easy to produce because the students were highly motivated to succeed in this challenging, yet fun, stage play."
