Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen
adapted for the stage by Helen Jerome
Help us celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen's birth with a performance of her most beloved novel at Chatsworth House. As the house has been used to represent the residence of that famous heartthrob, Mr Darcy, it seemed only fitting that we bring Mr Darcy to audiences at Chatsworth in 2025.

Performances - March 20/21/22, 27/28/29 at The Theatre at Chatsworth House.
