“We are all fools in love”

– Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Pride and Prejudice, written by Jane Austen, is a classic romance novel, movie, and now Lincoln-Way West Theater Production. The play features the Bennet family of five daughters in England in the early 1800’s, and the difficulties of finding the ideal husband in Georgian Gentry Society. Casting auditions were held Monday, September 9th and Tuesday, September 10th.
