Pride and Prejudice: Meanwhile, at Longbourn
A unique, intimate adaptation of a timeless favorite.
Novel by Jane Austen Adapted by Evelyn Gard
Get ready to don your best Regency-era attire (optional), and join us for the much-anticipated third season of "Pride and Prejudice, Meanwhile at Longbourn," on September 26, 27, and 28 at the Osborne Homestead Museum in Derby, Connecticut!
We’re celebrating Jane Austen’s 250th Anniversary, and trust us, it’s going to be more entertaining than a tea party with the Bennet sisters. Don’t miss your chance to immerse yourself in Austen's world, where romance and drama are served with a side of scandal! Prepare for a delightful romp filled with more swoon-worthy moments than you can shake a bonnet at!
The Osborne Homestead Museum includes one of sixteen members of the prestigious Connecticut’s Historic Gardens, offering a rambling park and the full experience of colorful fall foliage for which our state is famous.
