Neil Gooding Productions and Woodward Productions Present

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE* (*sort of)
BY
Isobel McArthur after Jane Austen

Direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) is a unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story. Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance.

This “smart, laugh out loud funny” (Daily Telegraph) show features a string of pop classics including ‘Young Hearts Run Free’, ‘Will You Love Me Tomorrow’ and ‘You’re So Vain’.
Coming to Australia for the first time, five fearless women bring Austen’s world of love, class and chaos to life with heart, humour and unstoppable energy in this modern take on one of the world’s most adapted pieces of literature

★★★★★

West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Heathers The Musical
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Swan | Elf Lyons
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.

MJ the Musical
MJ the Musical takes you on an immersive experience, like a montage of Michael’s memories and influences leading up to his ‘Dangerous’ tour.
Mary said what she said | 2026 Adelaide Festival
Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
