Park Theatre has announced that its 2026 Christmas production in the Park200 will be the UK premiere of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, a festive return to the world of Pride and Prejudice.
Produced by Park Theatre and Adam Blanshay Productions, the team behind last year’s hit Christmas show Dracapella, the production will run from 2 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, with a press night on 8 December.
Written by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon, the play enjoyed a sell-out run in Chicago before making its UK debut in Finsbury Park.
Set at Pemberley during the festive season, the story reunites the Bennet family as Elizabeth and Jane appear settled into the lives they always imagined. Meanwhile, Mary Bennet finds herself trapped by the expectations of those around her, until the arrival of Lord Arthur de Bourgh offers the possibility of a very different future.
Described as smart, funny and emotionally incisive, the production shines a spotlight on Jane Austen’s most overlooked heroine, exploring identity, belonging and the courage required to forge one’s own path.
Park Theatre Artistic Director Jez Bond said, “What joy we have in store for our audiences this Christmas. Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley is the perfect winter treat; inventively blending Jane Austen with warmth, comedy and festivities.I’m delighted to be partnering with Adam Blanshay productions once more and together bringing this hit play to UK audiences for the first time.”
Casting and the full creative team are yet to be announced.
The production continues Park Theatre’s strong track record of Christmas programming and reunites the venue with Adam Blanshay Productions following the success of Dracapella.
Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley will play at Park Theatre, Clifton Terrace, Finsbury Park, from 2 December 2026 until 10 January 2027.
