Paula K. Parker’s sparkling stage adaptation of the beloved Jane Austen classic, Pride & Prejudice, pits the lovely but opinionated Lizzy Bennet against the handsome, wealthy, yet brooding and taciturn Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy in a fencing match where reputations, family fortunes, and hearts are at stake.
The Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, have very different ideas about the propriety of love. Elinor is temperate and rational, while Marianne is fueled by youthful passion. Cast from their childhood home by the whims of fate, the sisters still manage to attract suitors.
Beautiful, talented and bored, Emma amuses herself by making matches for her acquaintances. But things spin quickly out of control resulting in a comedy of errors that eventually uncovers the secret desires of Emma’s own heart.
Jake and Joey, two brothers who are partners in crime. They are thieves, born into a family of thieves. They are tied to each other by the blood that runs through their veins, but that doesn’t mean they have to like each other.
The story of Esther is familiar to Jews and Christians; at least the bare bones of the story. Paula’s respectful and creative novel brought the story alive as a dramatic epic. Knowing the story, I was still compelled to turn the page and discover what happened next! Her gift of weaving fact with fiction to further illlustrate a Biblical history has achieved a higher level!
