Pride and Prejudice at the Playhouse, QPAC tickets
About Pride and Prejudice
Queensland Theatre Company’s smash-hit reimagining of Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice is back! After dazzling audiences in 2025, this sumptuous theatrical ode to the mother of romantic comedies sashays onto the Playhouse stage for one more glorious "turn about the room".
Smart, witty and fearless, Elizabeth Bennet is an independent young woman who dearly loves a laugh and is not afraid to poke fun where fun is most definitely warranted. At odds with her husband-hunting sisters and dithery mother, Elizabeth longs for the power to determine her own marital fate.
Amidst the glittering swirl of balls, gossip and the hypocrisy of Regency England, Elizabeth encounters the arrogant, aloof, but infuriatingly eligible Mr Darcy. The two are more alike than they care to admit and their tempestuous journey from “tolerable” to love triumphant is one of literature’s most iconic romances.
A perfect match? Most ardently! Penned by Patrick White Award winners Wendy Mocke and Lewis Treston, directed by Bridget Boyle and Daniel Evans and featuring an acclaimed all-star Queensland cast, it is a truth universally acknowledged that this “lavish and delightful” (Brisbane Times) celebration of the original rom-com plays for a strictly limited season and will sell out. Secure your bonnet and make haste.
