"THIS IS FEEL-GOOD THEATRE"
Written by Jane Austen
Adapted by Abigail Pickard Price with Sarah Gobran & Matt Pinches
Directed by Abigail Pickard Price
Holy Trinity Church, High Street, Guildford, GU1 3RR
We don't usually bring a show straight back but following its ★★★★★ run in London this summer and the number of people who missed out in February, our "sparkling" production returns for just 20 performances.
...and we're thrilled to announce that the ORIGINAL "terrific cast" (Daily Mail) of April, Sarah and Luke will be reprising their 17 roles!
Abigail Pickard Price’s "uproariously funny" adaptation sees three actors conjure 17 of Jane Austen’s unforgettable characters to life in this "fresh and genuinely romantic" production.
Don't miss your chance to blow away the winter blues with a joyous start to 2025, and join the 1000s of audience members who have completely fallen in love with Jane Austen's world all over again. This production also visits New Wolsey Theatre (Ipswich), Wilton's Music Hall (London), Bermuda aboard Cunard's Queen Victoria and will make GSC's New York debut later in the year - more info to come!
"No doubt Austen herself would have been delighted" Muddy Stilettos

YOUR CAST
"The cast are terrific" Daily Mail
We're thrilled that the original cast of April, Sarah and Luke are returning for 2025.
April played Juliet in our runaway summer hit Romeo & Juliet. Previous to Pride & Prejudice, she completed a two-year run in the Olivier Award-winning Harry Potter and the Cursed Child as Moaning Myrtle, and was seen in the Jim Henson/Netflix show The Dark Crystal - Age of Resistance.
Luke played Bertie Wooster in Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense (Salisbury Playhouse/Bolton Octagon) and Sherlock Holmes in The Valley of Fear at The Yvonne Arnaud.
Completing the cast is our own co-founding Actor Manager Sarah, who most recently played amongst others Wife of Bath in The Canterbury Tales; King of France in Henry V; and the Duchess of York in Richard II.

CHEESEBOARDS RETURN!
"We were greatly surprised by Edward Bridge's company... he made a point of ordering toasted cheese for supper, entirely on my account." Jane Austen, letter 1805
We might not be able to offer you toasted cheese, but why not follow Mr Bridge's example and order yourselves a delicious cheeseboard to savour DURING the show. Cheeseboards include a fabulous Cheddar, Brie and Stilton and come with a tangy onion chutney and crackers. Each board is enough for two persons.
Why not add a bottle of wine to make it extra special... (we're sure Jane would approve).
VALENTINE'S UPGRADE PACKAGES
Why not make your Valentines visit that bit more special by adding a bottle of Prosecco and chocolates to celebrate the evening with? Valid for performances on the 13, 14 & 15 February. Limited number of packages available.
