Blue Sky Theatre’s first show was Sense and Sensibility, so the company has decided to celebrate by staging a new version of Jane Austen’s most popular tale of latent love, Pride and Prejudice.

Mrs Bennet wants all five daughters married to single men in possession of a good fortune. But outspoken Lizzy is determined never to marry. Even when she meets the handsome Mr. Darcy, she believes he is the last man she could ever wed.

But as their lives become intertwined, she finds herself captivated by the man she has sworn to hate forever.

Director Dave Simms says the shows run from January 9 to 25, featuring a cast of Blue Sky theatre favourites, including several who were in the initial show.

“We are staging 11 shows starting at Pat and Gerald Upphill’s charming garden in Victor Harbor, where we did our first show all those years ago. Then we move on to the lovely garden setting at The Cedars in Hahndorf and finish by returning to the delightful lawns at Carrick Hill in Springfield,” said Dave. “It’ll be a delight to welcome back so many of our original cast.”

Open Gardens SA is proud to present another series of theatre in three delightful gardens.

Bring a picnic, enjoy a drink from the bar and settle in for a colourful and energetic experience under the stars, complete with romance, colourful costumes and plenty of laughs.

Look around the garden from 4.30pm with the show at 6.30 pm.

Tickets are $40
