Pride and Prejudice @ The Grand
Lior portrays Lydia and Lady Catherine de Bourgh in The Grand Theatre’s production of Pride and Prejudice, adapted from the Austen novel by Kate Hamill, directed by Rebecca Northan.
Gwen Caughell writes in Intermission Magazine: “A standout in the supporting cast is Lior Maharjan, who plays both the naive (and in this production, frequently drunk) Lydia, and Lady Catherine de Bourgh, nailing Lydia’s youthful energies as well as Lady de Bourgh’s stern, aristocratic authoritarianism.”
Hang on to your bonnets! A fresh take on the classic Austen romance of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
They’re the Bennets that you love, and they’re in it to win it (as far as love and marriage are concerned). This time, nothing is off limits – if it means securing a husband and a home for all your sisters. Jane is still the beauty, Mary is ghastly-as-ever, Lydia is ready to stir things up, and Lizzy is having none of it. Marriage, shmarriage!
In this laugh-out-loud adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic work, Kate Hamill deftly infuses the beloved Bennets, Bingleys, and Darcys with even more saucy irreverence for society’s expectations; the pearls are clutched, the waistlines are empire, the balls are ballistic, and the genders are bending. Through it all, the timeless love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy captures the hearts of dear readers, and brand-new Austen fans alike.
With a cult following of her own, the award-winning and incorrigible Rebecca Northan (Blind Date, Every Brilliant Thing) directs the production on the Grand Theatre’s Spriet Stage.
