We are also fortunate that we have a cast of professional actors to highlight the growing romance between Mr Darcy and Miss Elizabeth Bennett by recreating the three proposals of marriage described in Jane Austen’s famous novel Pride and Prejudice:
Mr Darcy – Sam O’Sullivan
Miss Elizabeth Bennett – Matilda Ridgeway
Mr Collins – Danny Mitchell
LadyCatherine de Bourgh – Vanessa Downing
Director – Aarne Neeme AM
Script – Professor Penny Gay
We have capacity for more guests, so if more people would like to book with us now, we would be happy to welcome you to a delicious lunch in such beautiful new surroundings plus delightful live music interlude and all the extra fundraising treats the Committee delights in organising.
Of course, we are very aware of the current uncertain times and will postpone again if necessary, using your payment towards a future event.
