Audience Survey
‘Terrific production. Lively and engaging from start to finish’
‘The show was a triumph. You managed to add new dimensions and nods to modern society that just took it to the next level!!!’
‘Why would I travel to London for the theatre when I can see a production as good as that in Guildford.’
‘Congratulations on holding such a wonderful event. The actors were fantastic, the staging beautiful and the updated version of P&P felt fresh and current whilst staying true to the original novel. I’m sure that Jane Austin herself would have loved it and I felt her presence with us throughout. Well done to all the team and thank you for creating a special day to remember’
Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice adapted by Janet Munsil & Directed by Caroline Whillans
CELEBRATE THE 250th ‘AUSTENNIEL’ WITH GUILDBURYS THEATRE COMPANY
If you think you know Jane Austen, think again! Pride and Prejudice is A Romantic Romp way ahead of its time.
Janet Munsil’s witty, romantic, and ingenious adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved tale of the independent-minded Elizabeth Bennet and enigmatic Mr Darcy is a fast-paced, funny, and fiercely romantic two hours on stage. Witness the unfolding of love, family dynamics, and the politics of marriage, as we recreate Longbourn, Pemberley and Netherfield Park.
Picnic theatre that is AUSTENTATIOUSLY different !
Why not dress in Regency finery? Bonnets are optional. Pack the rug, prepare the picnic basket and join Guildburys Theatre Company at Merrist Wood, just 3 miles from Guildford – the perfect setting for our celebratory Regency extravaganza.

Produced by special arrangement with Playwright’s Guild of Canada
