If you are looking for some uplifting, festive theatre then look no further. Miss Bennet Christmas at Pemberley by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon can best be described as cute and heartwarming and is a nice introduction to the holiday season. Sticking with the holiday theme nothing gets too heavy and the conflicts that crop up are dealt with in a humorous manner.

Jane Austen fans will surely be pleased with this sequel for it hits a lot of the familiar Jane Austen plot beats, and there are a lot of call backs to the original source material which is always a treat. Also, the set of this production is amazing and definitely adds to the festive elements of the story.

My main critique is that it's a bit on the long side and some of the scenes could have been tightened up, but overall, it’s a performance that I believe most can enjoy.

This pleasant Jane Austen sequel will surely make you smile and sometimes you just need entertainment like that.

Miss Bennet Christmas at Pemberley runs till Dec. 30th 2018 at the Arts Club Theatre, Granville Island Stage. Tickets at: https://secure.artsclub.com/events/detail/miss-bennet-christmas

    ABOUT THEATRE ADDICTS

    Founded by Danielle Benzon, a self-professed theatre addict. 

    Live performance is essential to create human connection in our disconnected world. Theatre is not a dying art form. It is more relevant, more necessary, now than ever before.

    ​
    This is a place for audience members to share thoughts and opinions, to discuss with critical thought what they liked (and didn't) and why.

    At Theatre Addicts we own our subjective viewpoints and we welcome respectful conversation. This is not a place for professional critics, it is a platform for the diverse voices of the audience community to be heard. It is a place for ideas to be exchanged. It is a place to reflect upon different perspectives and opinions that lead to a deeper understanding of art, of others, and of ourselves.

    We believe that an empowered, engaged audience allows for a responsive arts community.
