Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) – Monday 26 April to Saturday 1 May 2027

The season reaches its gloriously unruly finale when the Olivier and Evening Standard Theatre Award-winning Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) returns to Blackpool from Monday 26 April to Saturday 1 May 2027.

Following its hugely popular first visit to The Grand in May 2023, Isobel McArthur’s audacious adaptation returns with a new company and all the men, money and microphones that made it a West End sensation.

At its heart is the story audiences have loved for more than two centuries: Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy, five unmarried daughters and a society obsessed with wealth, status and finding a suitable husband. This version, however, has karaoke, ingenious multi-roling and pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain.

It is irreverent without ever losing its affection for Austen, transforming one of literature’s greatest love stories into a riotous mixture of period drama, pop concert and brilliantly inventive comedy.
