***This event has now sold out***

6.30-8pm

Join us for an evening of cocktails, comedy, and drawing room drama!

 

Enjoy a choice of Gin Austen cocktails – Netherfield Punch or Fizzy Miss Lizzie – before settling in for a dramatic reading of scenes from Pride and Prejudice. The scenes are performed from Duologues from the Novels of Jane Austen, collated by Rosina Filippi in 1895 – the earliest adaptation of Jane Austen’s novels for stage. Filippi chose senes of female empowerment from Austen’s novels, and this evening you can relive Elizabeth’s rejection of Cousin Collins, and her visit from the formidable Lady Catherine.

Please select your drink choice with your ticket:

Netherfield Punch – red wine and brandy-based punch

Fizzy Miss Lizzie – vodka and elderflower-based

Prize Pemberley – raspberry and elderflower mocktail

Tickets: £15 (includes a cocktail on arrival)
