Vanity Fair: An (Im-)Morality Play
Based on the novel by William Makepeace Thackeray. Ambitious Becky Sharp, poor, plain, and devilishly clever, may not have been born with wealth or status, but she’s determined to attain both-at any cost. Armed with fierce wit and calculating charm, Becky forges her own path through London’s high society, dealing herself into a game she was never invited to play.
Little Women
Based on the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy – they are America’s favourite sisters, beloved from the moment they appeared on the pages of Louisa May Alcott‘s novel Little Women. In this fresh take on a classic coming of age story, the beloved March sisters grow up against the backdrop of the Civil War.
Pride and Prejudice
Based on the beloved novel by Jane Austen. This playful adaptation gives the story we know and love an unconventional updating. In Regency England, love is a serious game, and the Bennet sisters are playing for keeps. But when marriage is a must for women, how will they be able to tell if they’ve won? This clever comedy offers a decidedly progressive take on the trials of Lizzy, Mr. Darcy, and the whole Bennet clan, with a few dance breaks thrown in for good measure.
Sense and Sensibility
Based on the beloved novel by Jane Austen. This refreshing, light-hearted romp through the English countryside tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as they cope with changing social circumstances and wistful longings for love. Told with quick, tight structuring and a chorus of gossips, Sense and Sensibility is inventive and full of comic vitality.
