Shelton Upper School’s Theatre Arts Department presents the stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s popular novel Pride and Prejudice in three upcoming performances.

The play deals with the story of the five Bennett daughters who are in need of suitable husbands.  The arrival of the wealthy Mr. Bingley and his best friend Mr. Darcy stirs romantic thoughts among the sisters and the matrimonial matchmaking begins. Through plot twists and tangles, in the end, Darcy swallows his pride and Elizabeth Bennett rethinks her prejudice.

Under the direction of Anné Hughes, Director of Fine Arts at Shelton, the cast and crew comprise some 55 high school students.

Performances are October 21, 22 and 24 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students (through grade 12).
