Pride & Prejudice Reviews

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...Compass Rose Theater’s splendid rendition of Pride and Prejudice is a theatrical masterpiece on all levels. This timeless tale of love and misinterpretation is sure to evoke a myriad of feelings. The company’s fabulous production of this Jane Austen classic presents messages that still resonate more than two centuries after the story’s initial introduction. What a lovely outing to kick off the holiday season!"

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended

"...Director Madeline Austin succeeds in giving us a fresh look at the characters themselves, and we soon realize that the missing scenery is just fluff. Luckily, Austin novels are absent a lot of action-there is a lot of talking...and more talking. What we love about "Pride and Prejudice" are the crazy family interactions, romantic flirtations, and cringey moments, all of which are presented up close and personal on stage."

Theatre Bloom- Highly Recommended

"...A lady’s imagination is very rapid, and while this lady’s imagination is not jumping from admiration to love to matrimony the way some of the Bennet daughters do in Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice, it is certainly jumping from point to point trying to extrapolate the thoughts and opinions formulated upon viewing Compass Rose Theater’s current production, as adapted by Emma Whipday under the direction of Madeline Austin (of no relation to the playwright.) I am only resolved to write in that manner, which will, in my own opinion, constitute my impressions thereof, take what you will from these musings and venture to formulate your own opinions on the viewing, accordingly."
