Pride and Prejudice: Meanwhile, at Longbourn...

With the resurgent popularity of Regency Era fiction and costumed events, the Osborne Homestead Museum will be hosting the Performing Arts Collaborative’s "Pride and Prejudice: Meanwhile, at Longbourn". This live production offers an intimate and immersive experience that invites the audience into the home of the Bennet family, where the popular love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy will unfold in scenes throughout the museum and gardens. The fourth wall separating the audience and cast will occasionally be broken for guests who arrive in costume.  It is highly recommended that guests bring hand fans and sun protection for the outdoor scenes and the non-air-conditioned museum.  Performances are scheduled for Friday, Sept. 26 at 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m; Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28 at 11:30 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The museum will be open for guided and self-guided tours in between performances, and the gardens and grounds will be open until 4:30 p.m.

This event is suitable for ages twelve and up, and it is recommended that children attend the first performance at 11:30 a.m.  Registration is required.  Early registration is highly advised since each performance will have a limited number of spaces.  Registration can be made online at https://forms.office.com/g/gNEZN7MkkQ?origin=lprLink.  This event is free.
