Pride and Prejudice in words and music

at 6.30pm at Tetbury Goods Sheds Arts Centre

With Dame Harriet Walter, actress; Melvyn Tan, piano

The enduring story of the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy is read by star of stage and screen, Harriet Walter, in a simple but intimate drawing-room setting, in much the same way that Jane herself first read the story aloud to her family and their closest friends.

Weaving around those words is Carl Davis’ magical score from the much loved BBC TV drama series of the 1990s, performed by Melvyn Tan (pianist on the original BBC soundtrack) and violinist Irene Duval.

The book has been abridged by novelist and Austen biographer, Gill Hornby.
