Pride & Prejudice

U

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet (Keira Knightley) is the second-eldest of five girls, all of whom her mother is keen to marry off to the nearest appropriate match.

When eligible bachelor Mr. Bingley moves to nearby Netherfield Park, accompanied by the even-more-eligible Mr. Darcy, they are the ideal candidates. However, upon meeting Elizabeth, Darcy's aloof and stubborn nature prevents them from recognising their affections.

Yes, it inspired Bridgerton, but it's better - thank you Jane Austen. 

If you want to see a completely different spin on the story, our sister venue, Leeds Grand Theatre is showing Pride & Prejudice* (*sort of) from May 27th. You can book tickets here.

We're collaborating with the wonderful people at Next Chapter Books for Sunday's screening. They'll be joining us with a stall at the event with some copies of Pride and Prejudice, other classics and some contemporary books that they think you will like if you like Pride and Prejudice.
