Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley

Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy

Presented by Woy Woy Little Theatre
A delicious romantic comedy with plenty of drama. It draws its inspiration from Jane Austin's beloved 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice.

Ended on Friday, 25 October 2024

by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
directed by Sarah Lovesy

Set shortly after the events of Pride and Prejudice, this sequel to the beloved novel focusses on Mary Bennet, the studious and brainy sister, who is increasingly becoming fatigued of her role as a dutiful middle sister in the wake of her sibling's romantic escapades.

When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest inspires hope for an intellectual companion, greater autonomy, and potential love for Mary.

Featuring many of the beloved characters from the Jane Austen classic, this show will bring cheer to your Christmas season like a steaming mug of hot apple cider.

This farcical romantic-comedy focuses on awkward middle sister Mary Bennet as she finds love with Mr.
Darcy's equally awkward cousin, Arthur de Bourgh. Combining what should be a host of our new younger Flash Creative actors and Sarah's attention to detail you should also expect a visual feast!.

Characters – Four females and three males.
Age range indicative only:

Mary Bennet – 20 to 30 years.
Finally coming in to her own, she is no longer the plain, boring girl she once was although she is still a bit gawkish.
She has a fire in her now. She is intelligent, curious and lively but her family only sees her as a future spinster. She does not suffer fools. She plays the pianoforte like a virtuoso.

Lord Arthur de Bourgh – 25 to 35 years.
A studious, unsociable only child who has never been around women or large families.
He is a loner who prefers books to people. He has recently inherited a large estate and has no idea what to do next. He is a good curious and kind man but is socially inept.

Elizabeth Darcy (Lizzy) – 22 to 32 years.
Married to Mr.
Darcy. Confident, charming, and witty. She makes a fun and surprising lady of the Pemberley household. She is best friends with her sister Jane but cannot initially see how her middle sister Mary has grown into a interesting and beautiful women.

Fitzwilliam Darcy – 30 to 40 years.
A loving, generous and smart (if slightly stiff) husband.
He is quiet and vigilant and thus sees what others often miss. He knows what being lovelorn is like.

Jane Bingley – 24 to 34 years.
Married to Mr.
Bingley. She is seven months pregnant with her first child and is sweet and optimistic as ever. The kindest heart in the house. There is a great goodness inside her.

Charles Bingley – 25 to 35 years.
Gracious, happy, and ever focused on the love of his life, Jane.
A good friend and always ready with a smile. He is a lively man but always with decorum. He still can't stop smiling at the fact that he has married the love of his life Jane and that he is about to become a Father.

Anne de Bourgh –25 to 35 years.
Only daughter of the late Lady Catherine de Bourgh.
She has lived in her mother's very large shadow, never having to ask for anything or speaking for herself. She is judgemental, impatient, sharp and critical but also very vulnerable. She does not understand what it means to be part of a happy family.
