Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley | Chemainus Theatre Festival

BY LAUREN GUNDERSON AND MARGOT MELCON

A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set at Christmas two years after the novel ends, MISS BENNET continues the story, only this time with bookish middle-sister Mary as its unlikely heroine. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love.
