Join DCP as we celebrate the holidays with our first ever Main Stage show at the Cain Center for the Arts!
Evoking the history of Jane Austen, the romantic sizzle of Bridgerton, and the cozy comforts of a yuletide special, the intoxicating Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley will sweep you off your feet. A “sequel” to Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, Pemberley continues the story, only this time with bookish middle-sister Mary as its unlikely heroine. Mary is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings’ romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love.
“…a perfectly constructed love story…Given its fizzy comedy, sweet spirit and clean structure, [Miss Bennet] seems destined to populate future holiday seasons…” —San Francisco Chronicle.
“…an unstuffy, highly entertaining and warm-spirited work, the kind of thing multiple generations can enjoy together.” —Chicago Tribune.
