Winter Shakespeare 2025
The Nashville Shakespeare Festival and Belmont University’s College of Music and Performing Arts Present
Pride and Prejudice
By Kate Hamill
adapted from the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Artistic Director Jason Spelbring
Troutt Theater at Belmont University
February 20-March 2, 2025
In partnership with Belmont University's Department of Theatre and Dance, Pride and Prejudice is bold, surprising, boisterous and timely. This is not your grandmother's Austen! This new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life. The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools…than the high-stakes game of love?
