Show Notes
What if Pride & Prejudice was a comedy stage show? What if the entire cast of book characters are portrayed by just five female actors? What if the story was being retold through the eyes of the servants who witnessed it, and involved rather a lot of karaoke?
Stefanie and Melinda discuss what worked, what choices left them a little confused, and completely forget to talk about their favourite joke in the whole play (it was about a Vienetta, IYKYK) as they tackle their first live performance review, for Pride & Prejudice* (*Sort Of) by Isobel McArthur.
