Jane Austen purists might want to clutch their pearls – a raucous, drinks-fueled adaptation of “Pride and Prejudice” is heading to London’s The Vaults this March. “Plied and Prejudice” promises to turn the beloved classic into an immersive party experience complete with that famous wet shirt scene and “inappropriate proposals.”

The Australian production, which has already sold over 40,000 tickets down under, sees five actors tackling twenty characters in what producers describe as a “chaotic retelling” where “all notions of respectable theatre and Regency etiquette are thrown out the door.”

Set in Mr. Darcy’s ballroom at Pemberley, the show features a traverse stage where audience members sit opposite each other on a checkered dance floor, becoming part of the action. Viewers can expect dance lessons, free-flowing drinks served by the “servants,” and even an appearance by “Keira Knightley” (though not the real one).

The production comes from Australian company Woodward Productions and is executive produced by Glass Half Full Productions, the team behind West End hits like “The Lehman Trilogy” and “Back to the Future: The Musical.” Legendary theatre designer Penny Challen, whose work has graced the Royal Opera House and National Theatre, has created the immersive set.

With tickets starting from £19, the show runs from March 13th to May 18th at The Vaults in Waterloo. However, potential attendees should note the strict 18+ age restriction and warnings for “inappropriate jokes” and “the wettest of wet t-shirt contests.”

The production’s tagline cheekily declares: “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in Regency England must be in want of a very stiff drink.” Bridgerton fans and Austen enthusiasts alike will have to wait until March to discover if this irreverent take on a classic delivers on its provocative promise.
