Pride And Prejudice* (*Sort Of)

- Joyce Mcmillan

Are you a fan of Pride And Prejudice? Never heard of it? Or think you don’t like it? No matter; because Isobel Mcarthur’s explosive new version of Jane Austen’s 1813 classic – for the Tron and Blood Of The Young – is brilliant, faithful and inventive enough to offer an unforgetta­ble summer night out to all three groups of possible theatre-goers. Expect a wild karaoke score of pop love anthems, and a riot of inspired multicasti­ng and cross-dressing from an all-female cast of five, in this fierce 21st century tribute to the radical wit and social insight of Miss Austen, still both hilarious and necessary, 200 years on. Tron Theatre, Glasgow, until 14 July, 0141-552 4267
