For\u00a0its final production of the 2016\u20132017 season, Theatreworks will bring Jane Austen\u2019s romantic tale \u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d to the stage.<\/p>\n

Overmann is a scholar in the areas of psychology, anthropology and philosophy. She has studied Austen\u2019s work extensively and published articles in the Jane Austen Journal.<\/p>\n

\u201cPride and Prejudice\u201d is Austen\u2019s beloved tale of romance overcoming mistaken first impressions.

Goodwin\u2019s script was updated specifically for the Theatreworks production.<\/p>\n

Kelly Kitchens, interim artistic director of the Seattle Public Theatre, is the play\u2019s director.

They are joined by an ensemble that includes Jane Fromme, Michelle Pearl, Sarah Lewis and Stephanie Schlis. The choreography by Laura Ferri captures the energy and excitement of a country dance in Regency, England. Julia Hayes Welch is the scenic designer, Ryan E. Finzelber the lighting designer, and Betty Ross the costume designer.<\/p>\n
