Olivier award-winning Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) comes to Leeds from 24 to 29 April, straight from its West End run.
This is a cheeky retelling of the Jane Austen classic, featuring very familiar pop songs such as Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain. Bones of contention are men, money and microphones in an adaptation which is both irreverent and affectionate.
