Get ready for a bold, witty, and delightfully offbeat take on a literary favorite. From June 19 to June 22, Newtown Arts Company presents Kate Hamill’s acclaimed adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” at the historic Newtown Theatre, located at 120 North State Street, Newtown. Tickets are on sale now at newtownac.booktix.com.
Hamill, known for her inventive and irreverent spins on classic literature, reimagines Jane Austen’s beloved novel with a contemporary sensibility and comedic punch. In this version, the social pressures of Regency-era England collide with a modern feminist lens, delivering a show that’s fast-paced, full of surprises, and fiercely funny.
At the heart of the story is Elizabeth Bennet—sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and totally uninterested in marrying for status. That is, until she crosses paths with the enigmatic (and awkward) Mr. Darcy. What follows is a clever and chaotic journey through pride, prejudice, and unexpected connection. The play turns tradition on its head while staying true to Austen’s signature wit and insight.
Directed by Tammy Tuckey, this vibrant production promises lively performances, inventive staging, and a fresh voice that will captivate longtime Austen fans and newcomers alike.
Presented through special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection (www.dramatists.com), this production captures the essence of classic romance while infusing it with new energy, humor, and heart. Whether you’re revisiting a favorite story or discovering it for the first time, “Pride and Prejudice” at Newtown Arts Company is a must-see theatrical event.
Newtown Arts Company is proud to create a space where creativity thrives and all are welcome—on stage, backstage, and in the audience. For details on tickets, memberships, volunteering, and ways to support the arts, visit newtownartscompany.com or connect with us on social media.
