Pride and Prejudice at Cherry Lane

Caught this is in early previews and it is such a fun evening! I am a huge fan of Kate Hamill's adaptations. Vanity Fair last year was a highlight for me and I am kicking myself for missing Sense and Sensibility. Mark Bedard as Caroline Bingley/Mr. Collins brought the house down and John Tufts as Mary Bennet was a real highlight (who would have thought I'd see a production of P&P and come away loving Mary).The show runs 2:40 with an intermission about hour into the show. It was a packed house and I wouldn't be surprised if it continued to sell really well.

I thought it was cute and fun overall, with a little too much running around and screaming. The cast, especially the men, are excellent. I did think Sense and Sensibility worked better, though.

"running around and screaming"? Austen?

^^^ I agree. A disappointment. I didn't find it emotionally satisfying.
