Storyhouse's latest open air production of Pride and Prejudice reimagines the famous love story with sparkling dialogue, traditional music and no shortage of dancing.

Adapted by Deborah McAndrew and directed by Conrad Nelson, the writer-director team reunited this year to bring the iconic production back to Grosvenor Park Open Air Theatre.

Running until Sunday 31 August, the play follows spirited Elizabeth Bennet and brooding Mr Darcy as they become entangled in a tale of mismatches, misunderstandings and unexpected romance.

It is narrated throughout by leading lady Elizabeth Bennet, who is played by Alyce Liburd.

Her character offers a sense of rationale against her overly excitable sisters and frantic mother - who lives to see each of her five daughters married and settled.

Both Mr and Mrs Bennet presented stand out performances. Played by Howard Chadwick and Victoria Brazier, audiences meet a perpetually fretting mother and a father who would be quite happy simply left alone.

The pair also take on other roles, with Chadwick at points switching to the powerful and hostile Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

Playing alongside Liburd is Ethan Reid, who skillfully takes on the roles of both Mr Darcy and the clumsy Mr Collins.

Whilst portraying the latter, Reid switches seamlessly to the elusive and mysterious Mr Darcy who secretly pines after the play's lead.

A notable feature of the play is the use of live music, which infuses a wonderful element to the outdoor production with a range of instruments used by the cast on stage.  

The cast also didn't shy away from engaging with the audience, with spontaneous interactions which felt like they had been written into the script - owing to the apt improvisation from the talented team of performers.

The production offers a perfect way to spend a summer evening, with plenty of moments of laughter, live music and lots of dancing.

A witty and timely script is made even better with a superb cast and a beautiful venue.

The onsite facilities such as a tepee bar serving craft beers and frozen cocktails alongside fresh wood-fired pizzas, further improved the experience, with every detail thought out for attendees.
