[NEohioPAL] REVIEW: Pride and Prejudice at GLT (Laura Kennelly)

[Laura Kennelly]

Gentle reader, I am exceedingly anxious to relay an account of the opening
night of *Pride and Prejudice* at Playhouse Square on Saturday last.
Brilliantly directed by Joseph Hanreddy (who co-authored the adaptation
with J. R. Sullivan), this Great Lakes Theater production at the Hanna
Theatre celebrated spirit and heart in a fashion that might have thrilled
and astonished the (very) late Miss Jane Austen, author of the 1813 novel
of the same name.

(Yes, this delightful play is based on that classic Jane Austen novel that
I do hope you don’t think you hate because it was a school assignment. In
truth, it’s clever enough to justify reading via flashlight under the
covers when you should be sleeping.)

BOTTOM LINE: If you think “ho-hum” Jane Austen again, think again, please.
This is a truly first-rate production that brings out the celebrated wit
and humor (and kindness) that has kept *Pride and Prejudice *a classic (and
good-natured) lesson about the dangers of rushing to judge others.
