This world premiere brings P.D. James’s best-selling novel to life, blending Jane Austen’s beloved characters with a gripping murder mystery.
Six years after Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy’s marriage, their peaceful life at Pemberley is disrupted when Lydia arrives with shocking news: a man has been murdered, and suspicion falls on her husband, George Wickham.
“As the investigation unfolds, dark secrets emerge, tensions rise, and loyalties are tested, casting doubt on everyone’s innocence,” tease the producers.
The production marks the first national tour produced by The Mill at Sonning, in collaboration with Studio RA.
