Before the visit, Mr Collins goes fussing over his Guests' dress. When the arrive, the majority of the group is stressing over the grandeur of Rosings and its owner, Elizabeth however is the opposite of the group, and feels equal to the scene of the house and people in it. Lady Catherine is exactly what she expected, a large, pompous woman, who loves nothing more that people praising her and her home. The young Miss de Bourgh is very small and very sickly looking, and she talks to no one over the dinner while Mrs Jenkinson, her mistress, fusses over her. Lady Catherine talks throughout the supper and leaves scarcely an opening for Elizabeth to talk. In the drawing room, Lady Catherine talks more and more about anything and everything, and gives familial advice to Mrs Collins.She eventually asks Elizabeth about her family, education, and state. She is upset that the family home of Longborne is to be taken away form her sisters, but that she is glad it will go to Mr Collins. She then asks of Elizabeth's skills, piano, drawing, etc. and is upset that she has few of these, and astounded that she didn't have a governess with 4 sisters, saying that she must have been neglected. When she enquires as to her sisters' outings, she is shocked that her sisters go out before the elders are married, and Elizabeth states openly her opinion that they should be permitted to do as they please…Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

When she arrives, both Charlotte and her cousin are waiting for her carriage and are greeted politely by Charlotte, and all too much by Mr Collins. Mr Collins then gives his new guests a tour of the house and the garden, in which he gives them a first glimpse of Rosings, the huge estate that the Collins' live next to. The following day, a commotion downstairs causes Charlotte's sister to call for Elizabeth to descend the stairs where she very unimpressedly claims that it is only the De Bourgh Family and isn't anything to make a fuss about. Elizabeth notes that Miss de Bourgh looks sickly and smiles at what Mr Darcy shall be married to. Charlotte and Mr Collins soon enter and inform the group that they have all been invited to supper at Rosings.Support the Show.Thank you so much for listening, if you want to support the me go to any of these links :)*Social*SHOPIFY: https://the-essential-reads.myshopify.com/INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/theessentialreadsTWITTER: http://twitter.com/IsaacBirchallvoKo-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/theessentialreads

Mr Collins is full of flattery for Mrs Philips' decorating skills, leaving the girls incredibly bored while waiting for the arrival of the soldiers. They finally arrive with the much-anticipated Mr Wickham. Wickham sits with Jane as the card table are taken out and immediately starts up conversation. She really wants to hear about the strange look between Mr Darcy and himself, and soon enough Wickham opens up the subject himself. He claims that he has known Darcy since he was a small child, and readily divulges all. He believes Darcy to be a jealous man and really believes that Darcy's father cared for him more than his own son. The late Mr. Darcy was to leave a large sum to Mr. Wickham, and he tells Elizabeth that the younger Mr. Darcy seemed to change the confines of his father will to cut Wickham out of it.The two talk until supper, where Mr Collins continues to talk about himself. In this, he brings up his Patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, which peaks Mr Wickham's ears. He questions Elizabeth about their relationship to Lady de Bourgh and informs her that the Lady is Mr. Darcy's aunt, and that it is assumed that Darcy will marry her Daughter...

Who will wear this years crown of the ultimate Jane Austen villain - Lady Catherine or Mrs Norris? This thrilling milestone 50th episode of the podcast takes a deep dive into the complex characters of these two formidable women from Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park respectively. We dissect their social statuses, character traits, and their intriguing overlaps, giving you a nuanced understanding of Austen's villainesses.Lady Catherine de Bourgh, with her aristocratic air and grandiose house, manipulates and intimidates with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Her controlling nature, especially towards Mr Collins and Elizabeth Bennet, reveals a side of her that reeks of arrogance and conceit. On the flip side, Mrs Norris, a character equally captivating in her villainy, uses her position to control and exploit the vulnerable Fanny Price. Her obsession with money, power, and control, coupled with her complete lack of value for love, paints a chilling picture of a true antagonist.As we wrap up this episode, we bring these two characters head to head, comparing and contrasting their motivations and actions. Lady Catherine fiercely protects her family's wealth and status, while Mrs Norris is driven by selfish machinations. We analyze their villainous energy, and with your votes, we'll decide who deserves the title of the ultimate Austen villain. So, brace yourself for an epic face-off, and join us in celebrating our 50th episode of exploring the world of Austen.From the Library With LoveLibrarians, authors & our wartime generation.Ordinary people sharing extraordinary storiesListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyHaus of Bennet Haus of Bennet sells products themed around your favourite classic lit and period dramas.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Chapter 55 heralds the return of Mr. Bingley. Jane's anticipated elation, as well as Mrs. Bennet's cunning manoeuvres to ensure her daughter's fortuity, create an engaging backdrop of intrigue and anticipation. Elizabeth herself, ever the keen observer, navigates the scene with an encouraging balance of foresight, optimism, and practicality.In the prophetic conclusion of the chapter, Elizabeth, secure in Mr. Bingley's fondness for Jane, dreams of an imminent resolution, contingent only on the absence of the enigmatic Mr. Darcy. This foreshadows a compelling trajectory ripe with the potential of romantic fulfillment and familial happiness.The ensuing chapter sets the scene with a tension-filled introduction, as an unexpected lady of upper-crust echelon arrives at the Bennets'. The unanticipated entrance of Lady Catherine de Bourgh brings a bracing breeze from the higher rungs of society, carrying with it the fragrant aroma of intrigue and the potential for conflict - the kind that only a character of her haughtiness can sow.As Lady Catherine arrogantly asserts her familial authority with Elizabeth, it becomes clear that this encounter will force Elizabeth to display her highest courage, and her steadfast conviction in her self-worth. In the face of aristocratic disdain, Elizabeth's steadfastness of character begins to truly shine, heralding a battle between societal norms and personal conviction.
Sir William Lucas departs, but Elizabeth and Mariah remain guests of Charlotte. Darcy and his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam, call upon Lady de Bourgh and suddenly Elizabeth finds herself spending more time with Darcy. But it's Fitzwilliam who takes a liking to Elizabeth as the two talk about books and music. Lady Catherine inserts herself into their conversation - constantly critiquing how women should practice music and criticizing Elizabeth and Charlotte for not playing music enough. One dinner, Fitzwilliam asks Elizabeth to play the piano. Lady Catherine disrespects Elizabeth by holding a conversation with Darcy while she plays. Darcy gets up from the conversation to join Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam at the piano. Elizabeth believes Darcy is intimidating her and retaliates by describing Darcy's lack of manners to Fitzwilliam. Later during his visit, Darcy calls upon the Collins home while everyone is out save for Elizabeth. Much to her surprise, Darcy stays and the two engage in an awkward conversation. Elizabeth inquires about his leaving Netherfield so abruptly and Darcy confirms he doesn't think Bingley will return. After this odd visit, Charlotte states Darcy must be in love with Elizabeth! But as the women spend more time with the men, Charlotte begins to believe it is Fitzwilliam who is falling in love with Elizabeth. The Jane Austen Podcast with Alison Larkin is a Realm production.

In chapter 37, we encounter the inimitable Lady Catherine de Bourgh bemoaning the departure of the gentlemen from Rosings, while Mr. Collins delivers her missive with his characteristic flair for grandeur. Meanwhile, our darling Elizabeth contemplates the irony of her potential status as Lady Catherine's future niece. As the departure from Rosings is made, Lady Catherine dishes out advice and concerns, a touching concern for propriety ever her guiding light. However, it's in the solitary walks and quiet reflection that Elizabeth's distress surfaces, as she battles with a myriad of emotions towards Mr. Darcy. In our next chapter, Elizabeth's departure from Hunsford begins to take shape, adjoined with an amusing breakfast encounter with Mr. Collins who doesn't cease to radiate self-importance. Charlotte enters and we share Elizabeth's resigned sorrow, knowing the dreary company she leaves her friend with. The final goodbyes are made and thrown in is a serendipitous reminder from Mr. Collins of departing messages, before they embark on the journey back to the Gardiner house.
Elizabeth and Charlotte's family arrive at the Collins' home. The next day, Elizabeth and Mariah spot Lady de Bourgh's daughter, Anne, from a window. They observe how thin, sickly, and plain she looks - the idea that Darcy would have such an unattractive wife pleases Elizabeth. The group is invited to dinner at Lady de Bourgh's manor. While at dinner, Lady Catherine dominates the conversation - pushing her own ideas about class and how a home should be run. It's made clear that she has a strong hand in Mr. Collin's life and home, thus she'll also have one in Charlotte's. Lady Catherine then turns attention to Elizabeth and criticizes the Bennetts for how they brought up their daughters. She is shocked to hear Elizabeth does not practice music or art, but rather reads. Elizabeth shows no fear in responding to Lady Catherine with her own opinions and pride in how she was raised.

Chapters thirteen and fourteen draw us into the Bennet home as unanticipated correspondence introduces a new character and stirs commotion within the family. But before we proceed, allow me to set the scene.Morning finds the Bennet family at breakfast, their daily routines interrupted by the announcement that a certain Mr. Collins, a stranger and a gentleman, would soon pay them a visit. The news is unexpected and leaves the Bennets abuzz with curiosity—as Mr. Bennet anticipates an entertaining encounter, Mrs. Bennet hastens preparations for a suitable dinner, and the daughters indulge fantasies about a potential suitor. However, when Mr. Collins' arrival does not bring a scarlet coat-wearing man, the youngest Bennet girls find him lacking. Mr. Collins, the heir to Longbourn, is thus introduced amidst an amusing scene of familial reactions. His arrival is followed in Chapter fourteen with a dinner, where his overzealous respect for his patroness, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, stand out against Mr. Bennet's calculated humility. With keen observation and sardonic humour, Mr. Bennet pokes our guest with questions that unravel the unfeigned, if not absurd, persona of Mr. Collins, endearing us to another fascinating character in Jane Austen's colourful tapestry. By the chapter's conclusion, this clergyman's airs and his surprising aptness for flattery underpin a kind of ironic charm.
Mr Collins, received by the Bennet's family, is “entertaining” them with praises for Lady Catherine de Bourgh, his benefactor.
Mr Collins, ricevuto dalla famiglia Bennet, li “intrattiene” con lodi su Lady Catherine de Bourgh, la sua benefattrice.
Much to Mrs. Bennet's dismay, Jane and Elizabeth leave Netherfield. Elizabeth and Darcy are delighted to part, as Elizabeth is to finally return home and Darcy hopes to relieve some of his attraction to Lizzie. Upon arriving home, Mr. Bennett announces that the family will be receiving a relative for dinner: a Mr. Collins. Collins is set to inherit the estate upon Mr. Bennett's passing and would have the right to evict Mrs. Bennett and her daughters. This causes much distress for Mrs. Bennet but Collins ensures her he is there to make peace with the family. Collins is a clergyman, set up at a parish by a wealthy Lady Catherine de Bourgh. After dinner, Collins winces at the idea of reading a novel. Instead, he opts to read sermons to the girls only to be interrupted, thus ending his evening with a game of backgammon with Mr. Bennett.

Anna: il nome forse più diffuso nella canzone italiana spopola anche in letteratura. Dalla biblica profetessa alla sorella della sfortunata Didone, dall'orfana "dai capelli rossi" alla istitutrice a corte del re del Siam, dal caso di Anna O. alla tragica Anna Frank, dalla gigantessa della letteratura mondiale, Anna Karenina alla piccola Anna de Bourgh di "Orgoglio e pregiudizio". Lucy Maud Montgomery, Margaret Landon, Josef Breuer, Sigmund Freud, Anna Frank, Fëdor Dostoevskij, Jane Austen e altri ci presentano oggi tante "Anne" diverse. Fanno da controcanto all'episodio anche alcune celebri canzoni, film musicali e cartoni animati. Con una sorpresa: c'è anche un Anna maschio, un tappetto con un cappello nero altissimo e una vocetta da contraltista in un duetto musicale memorabile. Dimenticavo: c'entrano anche Nietzsche, cristalli impalpabili e Annie Lennox.
News travels fast, and not always accurately - Lady Catherine de Bourgh has arrived at Longbourn with the impression that Elizabeth is engaged to Mr. Darcy. How could this obstinate, headstrong girl get in the way of her ladyship's daughter's tacit engagement? Lady Catherine cannot let it stand, but Elizabeth will not give in that easily. After such a heated conversation, she needs a moment to rest. Let yourself rest too as today's story helps you fall into a deep and restorative sleep. ----- Welcome to the Jane Austen Bedtime Stories podcast!

Hello, listeners! Designer Jennyvi Dizon is a fashion designer whose latest collection - debuting this weekend at NYFW - is inspired by the characters of Jane Austen. Dizon has been sewing since she was a child - she says it's how she speaks to the world. Every design she creates, she says, contains a narrative. A story.In this conversation and podcast episode with the Austen Connection, Dizon breaks down for us how her designs incorporate not only Austen's complicated characters, from Lizzy Bennet and Anne Elliot, to Mrs. Elton, and Emma - but also their stories.Dizon by telling us how she began incorporating Jane Austen characters into her fashion designs - and how for her even becoming a fashion designer in the first place meant standing up and using her voice, rather like Elizabeth Bennet to Lady Catherine de Bourgh - and actually, that's also a gown: The Lizzy Gown, something that might be worn for a time that you need to stand up to someone.Here's our conversation with Designer Jennyvi Dizon, about how fashion tells a story - and how loss, for heroines like Anne Elliot and Emma, and also for Dizon herself, can be part of that story.Thanks for listening to the Austen Connection podcast.

A beautifully written LGBTQ+ reimagining of the life of one of Pride & Prejudice's most underdeveloped characters, Miss Anne de Bourgh, The Heiress is an extraordinary tale of self-discovery and liberation set in Jane Austen's beloved world. As a fussy baby, Anne was prescribed laudanum to quiet her and has been given the opium-heavy syrup ever since on account of her continuing ill health. While her mother is outraged when Darcy chooses not to marry Anne, as has been long planned, Anne can barely raise her head to acknowledge the fact. But little by little, she comes to see that what she has always been told is an affliction of nature might in fact be one of nurture - and one, therefore, that she can beat. In a frenzy of desperation, she throws away her laudanum and seeks refuge at the London home of her cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam. Suddenly wide awake to the world but utterly unprepared, Anne must forge a new identity among those who have never seen the real her - including herself. With its wit, sensuality and deep compassion for the human heart, The Heiress is a sparklingly rebellious novel that takes a shadowy figure from the background of Pride & Prejudice, one of the world's most beloved books, and throws her into the light.

The world created by Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice has established a place for itself in contemporary culture that few other novels can match, yet amid the countless spinoffs, some stand out. Molly Greeley seems to have a special gift for creating novels that, although based on Austen’s creations, take on a life of their own. In 2019’s The Clergyman’s Wife, Greeley imagined how the marriage between Charlotte Lucas, the friend of Austen’s heroine Elizabeth Bennet, and Mr. Collins, Austen’s risible antagonist, might have worked out after three years. The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh (William Morrow, 2020) takes up the story of a character who in the original Pride and Prejudice exists mostly as an example of the kind of young woman that novel’s hero, Mr. Darcy, should prefer to Elizabeth, if only in the opinion of Anne’s formidable mother, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Now, to anyone familiar with Lady Catherine, the thought of being her daughter is itself enough to cause shudders of alarm, but on the surface, Anne has a privileged life, including the right—rare for a woman in eighteenth-century Europe—to inherit her father’s estate. In this, she occupies the opposite position from Charlotte Lucas, who married Mr. Collins solely to avoid becoming an elderly, unwanted spinster living in genteel poverty. But all is not well in Anne’s world, either. A fractious although healthy baby, she undergoes “treatment” for what we assume is colic that leaves her addicted to laudanum, an opiate. Her father wants to wean Anne of the drug, but her mother insists on following the advice of the local quack even as Anne becomes more listless and emaciated. A governess sparks Anne’s interest in poetry and mathematics, but it’s only when Anne herself awakens to the dangers of laudanum and decides to rid herself of her addiction at all costs that she begins to grow into her inheritance. C. P. Lesley is the author of ten novels, including Legends of the Five Directions, a historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible. Her next book, Song of the Sisters, will appear in January 2021. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

*Chapter 14:* Lady Catherine de Bourgh tells Lizzy how she really feels. Highlights include Lizzy pleading the fifth, Molly and Becca's Austen personas, Molly forgetting who Caroline is, and Lizzy's one star Yelp review. *Chapter 15:* Daddy Bennet gets a letter from Collins. Highlights include the notion of forgiveness and our perceptions of others' emotions. *Chapter 16:* Molly spills her coffee all over her book. Darcy returns to Longbourn! Lizzy and Darcy have The Talk! Highlights include a scene in the rain, the satisfaction of hearing someone take ownership for being shitty, Darcy as the Beast, and Molly finding out nobody kisses in Jane Austen. *Study Questions:* Topics discussed include Catherine de Bourgh's classism, breaking etiquette, marriage as a financial act, Collins's letter, everyone's perspectives on the Dizzy relationship, these chapters as a proposal, a comparison between this and Proposalgeddon, Lizzy and Darcy as Lorelai and Luke, a Dizzy montage, the lack of kissing *Funniest Quote:* "That is what makes it amusing. Had they fixed on any other man, it would've been nothing, but his perfect indifference, and your pointed dislike make it so delightfully absurd. Much as I abominate writing, I would not give up Mr. Collins's correspondence for any consideration. Nay. When I read a letter of his, I cannot help giving him the preference even over Wickham, much as I value the impudence and hypocrisy of my son-in-law." *Questions moving forward:* Will they kiss? Will Lizzy's parents reject Darcy? *Who wins the chapter?* Dizzy! *Glossary of Terms and Phrases:* equipage (n) : equipment missish (adj) : affectedly demure, squeamish, or sentimental tacit (adj) : understood or implied without being stated *Glossary of People, Places, and Things:* Real Housewives ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Housewives ) , Beauty and the Beast ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101414/ ) , Gilmore Girls ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238784/ ) , I Will Always Love You ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPTf7x9XqtA ) , Gilmore Guys ( http://www.gilmoreguysshow.com/ ) , Demi Adejuyigbe ( http://www.demiadejuyig.be/ ) Patreon: patreon.com/podandprejudice ( https://patreon.com/podandprejudice ) Website: podandprejudice.com ( https://podandprejudice.com ) Twitter: @podandprejudice ( https://twitter.com/podandprejudice ) Instagram: @podandprejudice ( https://instagram.com/podandprejudice ) Facebook: Pod and Prejudice ( fb.me/podandprejudice )

This week the girls get their teeth into Jane Austen's masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice. They spend the entire hour agonizing over: - The upsettingly thick layer of sexual tension running through all of Lizzy and Darcy's conversations (so sticky...) - Hate-flirting as a viable way to meet your soulmate - How amazing it is to have a heroine openly own a serious mistake in judgement, and not place herself in exile or throw herself off a cliff afterward - Who is their favourite character (it's currently a between six way tie between Lizzy, Darcy, Lydia, Mrs Bennet, Mr Bennet, Mr Collins and Lady Catherine de Bourgh - with an honourable mention for ugly-sexy Colonel Fitzwilliam), and - Who gets the excerpt reading Oscar this episode: Chloe for her magnificent delivery of "We neither of us perform for strangers" or Sarah's actually life-changing Lady Catherine. The Academy have a long night of deliberations ahead of them. Other topics include: - A surprisingly indepth history of K-Pop lightsticks (and yes you do need one) - A very successful demonstration on how reverse psychology may work in convincing your toddler, or 19 year old friend from Drumcondra, to do something - A quick plug for Westworld, which is always welcome. Especially considering Saoirse's slightly weird crush on Ed Harris...which we're not sure what to do with... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lc-lewis/message
Happy New Year everyone! After starting 2020 with a nasty bug, I’m happily feeling myself again and am so pleased to be back with a brand new Tea & Tattle episode, which I’ve been dying to share for ages. This week on the podcast, I’m joined by the author, Janice Hadlow, to discuss Janice’s debut novel, The Other Bennet Sister, which tells the story of the most overlooked of Jane Austen’s famous Bennet sisters - Mary Bennet. Janice Hadlow worked as a television producer for the BBC for many years. During her time in television, Janice received a number of awards and commissioned hit shows such as the Great British Bake Off, Wolf Hall and Line of Duty. Now focused on writing, The Other Bennet Sister is Janice’s first novel, and it was just published last week on the 9th of January. I read a proof copy of The Other Bennet Sister last autumn, and I absolutely adored it! In fact, it was my favourite read of 2019, so I was absolutely thrilled to get to chat to Janice about her marvellous book. The Other Bennet Sister is a must read for anyone who loves Pride & Prejudice. It throws the plain, dull Mary Bennet into an entirely new light: shown to be an introvert in a family of extroverts, Mary Bennet grapples with her fate as the expected spinster of her family, forced to manage her domineering mother and yearning for an outlet for her intellectual ambitions. Set partially within the world of Pride & Prejudice and then continuing beyond the timeframe of Jane Austen’s novel, The Other Bennet sister examines what happens to Mary as she refuses to accept her fate and bravely sets out to discover her own happiness. I loved Mary’s story, but I also thoroughly enjoyed Janice Hadlow’s portrayal of other well-known characters from Pride & Prejudice: Mr & Mrs Collins, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Miss Bingley and the Gardiner family all make wonderful reappearances, alongside a host of charming new characters that could just as easily have been the products of Austen’s pen. I had such a fun conversation with Janice, chatting about her mutual love for Jane Austen and the inspiration behind her book, and I guarantee that The Other Bennet Sister is sure to chase away any January blues!

ARK Watson interviews Eleanor Bourgh Nicholson, author of A Bloody Habit.
Here we are, huh? The last episode of the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice, and therefore the very last episode of our Be Good and Rewatch It series, which of course will conclude next week because we ran long and broke the letters section out into its own podcast! God and Waypoint aren't done with you yet, Mr. Darcy and Lizzie Bennett! First, however, we have to get these two problematic faves into a marriage knot... and see Lizzie finally square-up with Lady Catherine de Bourgh, who has condescended to get her ass kicked. We also delve into the mystery of who tipped Lady Catherine about Darcy's attachment to Elizabeth, and consider our final verdicts on Mr. Bennett. We also talk about the more realistic, restrained portrayals of the BBC adaptation with the more tempestuous approach taken by the 2005 film, which tries to render the interior monologues of the novel into action on film. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The acclaimed playwright Lauren Gunderson was taking a theater-going excursion with Margot Melcon, then the Director of New Play Development for Marin Theatre Company, in Mill Valley. On the drive, the two began discussing the need for alternative Christmas-themed plays. And having confirmed a mutual appreciation for the works of Jane Austen, soon began imagining a holiday play featuring characters from Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” They started sketching out scenes on a series of napkins borrowed from Starbucks, and the result, Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, is now gaining rave reviews and playing to sold out houses at Marin Theatre Company, where it continues through December 23. Deliciously funny, and boldly old-fashioned, “Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley” is a sequel, of sorts. Pride and Prejudice, of course concluded with the marriage of Elizabeth Bennet (here played by Cindy Im) to the wealthy and charming Mr. Darcy (Joseph Patrick O’Malley). Elizabeth, of course, is one of five sisters. As Austen’s story now continues - under the skillfully knowing direction of Meredith McDonough – the happily married Darcy’s have invited three of Elizabeth’s sisters — Jane, Lydia, and Mary — to spend Christmas at Pemberley, their vast country estate, which Elizabeth has boldly adorned with a Christmas tree, a custom not yet common in England. That tree is almost a character unto itself. Sister Jane (played by Lauren Spencer), is now married to the affable Mr. Bingley (Thomas Gorrebeeck), and is, as they say, with child. Lydia (in a powerhouse performance by Erika Rankin) desperately tries to convince her sisters that her absent husband, Mr. Wickham, is not the scoundrel everyone knows him to be, and her duplicitous and hyperkinetic activities over course of the holiday cause at least one of the play’s many comic misunderstandings. The primary focus of the play, it turns out, is Mary Bennet, played with agreeably dry wit and plenty of simmering charm by Martha Brigham. Mary is the sister portrayed in the original novel as talentless and pointedly bookish, though not necessarily very bright. Well, thanks to Gunderson and Melcon, much has changed over the last two years. Mary, clearly, has evolved into a smart, observant and accomplished young woman, though no one seems to have noticed. The absence of the fifth sister, Kitty, by the way, is acknowledged in a funny, slightly “meta” reference toward the end of the play. The tale’s expected love story comes in the form of the painfully awkward bookworm Arthur de Bourgh, a magnificent Adam Magill, whose recently inherited the estate of Darcy’s aunt, the daughter of which, Anne, played by a hilarious Laura Odeh, suddenly appears to interrupt the growing love-at-nerd-sight romance between Arthur and Mary. The dialogue is sparkling and infectious, and the set by Erik Flatmo is a marvel, with snow constantly-falling behind the drawing room window, and even falling from the rafters onto the set itself. Fluffy and sweet as a Georgian Ice, Miss Bennet: Christmas in Pemberley is as captivating and delightful a holiday diversion as one is likely to find – with or without a Christmas tree. ‘Miss Benet: Christmas at Pemberley’ runs Tuesday–Sunday through December 23 at Marin Theatre Company. www.marintheatre.org
Greetings, salutations, and warmest regards. Messrs. Fitzhalfyard and d’Almirall, and the Lady Laura Fitzhalfyard most cordially implore your attention for a faint touch of amusement and diversion to tickle your nerves with a most engrossing discourse regarding the televised play of Pride & Prejudice. In this episode, Lizzy is surprised to learn of new developments from Charlotte Lucas and castigated by Lady C*** de Bourgh. Mrs. Bennet is reduced to hysterics. M. Darcy makes a most peculiar offer.

The chapters that break Molly's brain. We go with three chapters instead of four this week, as these are MEATY chapters.Chapter 13: Guess who's coming to dinner? It's Mr. Collins, the man to whom Longbourn is entailed. Check out some info on entails/fee-tails here. We also dig into the Anglican church. We don't love Collins's motices for coming to visit.

She is currently shipping Collins and Baby de Bourgh. She thinks Catherine de Bourgh would be played by Gwenyth Paltrow.The face of the inheritance drama: We are STRESSED that one of the daughters may have to marry Collins to keep their estate. Molly does not hate him.Darcy and Wickham--what's UP? Is it a feud over a woman? Is it a feud over money? Molly starts by guessing that they're distant relatives whose families have been feuding for decades, then decides Wickham stole Darcy's girlfriend when they were in high school.What's gonna happen at dinner? Kydia will be in heaven with all the officers. Molly predicts that Wickham and Jane are gonna get it on while Bingley is away.Funniest quote: Collins says, "They arise chiefly from what is passing at the time, and though I sometimes amuse myself with suggesting and arranging such little elegant compliments as may be adapted to ordinary occasions, I always wish to give them as unstudied an air as possible."Biggest question: What the fuck happened between Darcy and Wickham???Who wins the chapters? Mrs. Phillips!Want to stay up to date with what we're doing? Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook! Like what you hear and want to see how you can support us? Check out our Patreon page!

Highlights include: Sir Kenneth Branagh (and a shout out to Potterless), Lydia, Darcy and Wickham as Ross and Rachel, a burn tally for Darcy, the Shire, can we trust Downton Abbey?Chapter 17: Lizzy tells Jane what's happened, and Jane remains infuriatingly impartial. Bingley and his sisters invite everyone to a ball at Netherfield! Even Collins is excited and hopes that Lizzy will dance with him. OH NO. He wants to marry her. Highlights include: I Wanna Dance with Somebody, Mary as a lesbian in Williamsburg.Chapter 18: The day of the ball! Wickham is NOT there. Darcy asks Lizzy to dance and Molly, unfortunately, begins shipping Lizzy and Darcy. Lizzy brings up Wickham just to stir the pot. Caroline tries to get involved. Collins decides he MUST introduce himself to Darcy on account of his connections to Lady Katie DB. We have an Embarrass Lizzy Festival including a song from Mary and a speech from Collins. Highlights include: Colin Firth and Prejudice, dancing as a metaphor for bad sex, Harry and Hermione fanfiction, Collins as Peter the Great (Monument to Peter I at Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg), a very drunk Mrs. Bennet, and an in depth discussion of the Golden Shower (Danae and Zeus).

Molly wants Lizzy to bang them both but she's now #prodizzy.Love triangles: Darcy and Wickham love Lizzy and loathe each other. Darcy has Baby DB and Caroline. Mr. Collins just really wants to be a part of it all. We will be posting a picture of this chart on our Instagram.Class struggles: Darcy is the most classist person in the book so far, and that colors his relationships with everyone, especially Wickham.Dancing: The first TOUCH. Molly compares the rules of courting in this time period to the thin walls of Chekhov's estate.Bennet family yikes: Lizzy is more concerned for Jane than she is for herself.The de BOURGHS: All of the plots converged on each other. Catherine de Bourgh is Darcy's aunt and Baby de Bourgh is his cousin. Becca points out that this prearranged marriage is intended to keep the fortune in the family. (Quick plug of Molly's poetry Instagram.) Molly notes that the de Bourgh's clergyman is Collins who's equally trying to marry his own cousin. At this point, Molly thinks Lizzy doesn't really have a choice but to marry Mr. Collins.We think maybe Wickham could be played by a young Christian Bale circa Midsummer Night's Dream directed by Kenneth Branagh, or maybe Heath Ledger circa 10 Things I Hate About You.Funniest quote: Jane: "It is difficult indeed. It is difficult indeed. It is distressing. One does not know what to think." Lizzy: "I beg your pardon. One knows exactly what to think." (Molly is Jane and Becca is Lizzy).Biggest question: Does Darcy know he's engaged to Baby DB?Who wins the chapters?
