A sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice set two years after the novel ends, Miss Bennet continues the story, only this time with bookish middle sister Mary as its unlikely heroine. Now, Mary is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings’ romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match and possibly even love.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

Mary Bennet (20-25)

Intelligent, curious and lively. Not the plain boring girl she once was. She does not suffer fools. She may or may not be playing piano on stage, so there is a preference for someone with some piano playing aptitude.

Arthur deBourgh (25-30)

Studious, awkward around women and large families. Prefers books to people. Recently inherited a large estate and has no idea what to do next.

Elizabeth Darcy (22-30)

Married to Mr. Darcy. Confident, charming and witty, she is a fun lady of the house, who adores her sister, Jane.

Fitzwilliam Darcy (30-35)

Loving, generous and smart (also very proper and a bit stiff.) Husband to Elizabeth.

Jane Bingley (24-30)

Oldest Bennet daughter, married to Mr Bingley. Sweet, kind, and optimistic. Also 7 months pregnant.

Charles Bingley (25-30)

Gracious, happy, always ready with a smile. Totally focused on Jane, the love of his life.

Lydia Wickham (18-20)

Flirtatious, coy, and self-centered. Her marriage to Mr. Wickham is a sham, but she will not admit it.

Anne deBourgh (25-30)

Only daughter of the late Catherine deBourgh. Entitled, judgmental, and impatient.

Two Servants/Butlers (any age/gender)
