Pride and Prejudice adapted by Jon Jory

"Jory, the former longtime producing director at Actors Theatre of Louisville and founder of its famed Humana Festival of New American Plays, has crafted an exceptionally clear, funny and moving version."

"Jory gets the entire story told without either cramming the script with detail or omitting anything crucial."

"Jory has built a narrative structure in which reams of dialogue forward the story while also commenting on it, a device that's helpful in reminding us that this is a story about the inequity of antiquated class distinctions."

"Theater is at its best when it offers a good story well told. Jon Jory's adaptation of Jane Austen's classic tale of romance, Pride and Prejudice, is that... Jory blends smart dialogue with trenchant social observation, giving Austen's characters plenty of room to navigate the shoals of class distinction, the subjugate roles of women in a patriarchal society and the perils of overweening pride."

"We are most seriously pleased. Many of Austen's words are kept intact - a fine thing indeed, given her considerable wit - and the passions that rule the story spill over."

"While he [Jory] has cleverly crafted a narrative structure where everyone moves the plot forward with description and commentary and has shrunk the novel's regiment of characters to a core of 23 performed by 14 actors, he has also done everything he can to remain true to Austen's prose, which is why this evening is a treat not only for fans of Austen's work such as I, but a great entree for the uninitiated to discover the world of Mr. Bennet and his five daughters."
