Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble Production of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley
This unofficial sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, with Mary Bennet as its heroine, has been a hit at theatres from coast to coast. Miss Bennet picks up the story two years after the novel ends, when the family gathers to celebrate Christmas at Pemberley and Mary unexpectedly meets the equally bookish Arthur de Bourgh. “Droll and delicious, MISS BENNET is a charming, confectionary celebration of fan favorite characters…. honoring the legacy of Jane Austen’s humor, playfulness and wit in a warm-spirited holiday theatrical production” (DCMetroTheaterArts.com).
