The world premiere stage adaptation of P.D. James’s best-selling novel comes to Bath this summer, a tale of love, betrayal, and intrigue in Regency England.
Step into the world of Pride and Prejudice like never before with a riveting new stage adaptation that combines Jane Austen’s timeless romance with a gripping murder mystery imagined by master storyteller, the ‘Queen of Crime’ P.D. James.
Six years after Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy’s happy union, their idyllic life at Pemberley is shattered when Elizabeth’s sister Lydia bursts in with shocking news: a man has been murdered in the woods, and suspicion falls on her husband, the notorious George Wickham. As the investigation unfolds, dark secrets emerge, tensions rise, and loyalties are tested, casting doubt on everyone’s innocence.
From the acclaimed writing team behind the hit stage adaptations The Girl on the Train and The Da Vinci Code, this spellbinding production delivers all the romance, intrigue, and drama you love, now wrapped in a suspenseful whodunnit. A must-see theatrical event that will leave you breathless!
EastEnders' James Bye stars as Fitzwilliam Darcy. James has played Martin Fowler in the BBC's EastEnders for 10 years, until the character's death in the Queen Vic explosion in the 40th anniversary live episode. He competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, partnered with Amy Dowden.
The cast includes Sean Rigby, best known as DS Jim Strange in ITV's Endeavour, Jamie Rose-Duke, Celia Cruwys-Finnigan. Paul Jerricho, Sam Woodhams, David Osmond and Mogali Masuku.
