"JANE AUSTEN’S MOST BELOVED NOVEL RE-BORN... it clips along smartly from scene to scene... and shows a respect for Austen’s dialogue."
EVENING STANDARD
“Such CHARM AND ELEGANCE... Jennifer Kirby makes a professional stage debut as Elizabeth Bennet; her intelligent, laughing demeanour and sparkling eyes make her the perfect foil for David Oakes’s BROODING, DEPTH-SUGGESTING MR DARCY."
DAILY MAIL
“This is A PERFECT PRIDE AND PREJUDICE: skittish, comical, easy on the eye and moving.”
METRO
"Elizabeth and Darcy... charmingly played by Jennifer Kirby and David Oakes."
MAIL ON SUNDAY
