Pride and Prejudice

THE HEAT IS BACK ON!

After a sold-out premiere in 2021, Turteatern's acclaimed adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice returns to the stage. Get ready for an unforgettable journey into a classic tale, told with a unique, modern twist.

Regissörer Amanda Apetrea and Lisen Rosell, along with scenograf Chrisander Brun and kostymör Daniel Åkerström Steen, have created a bold and free interpretation of Austen's timeless novel. Here, the past meets the present in a production that challenges and moves.

Step into a world where steaming tea and treacherous ink mix with feverish cheeks and hidden passions. It's a place where grand estates hold both snobbish class disdain and stiff cotton clothes, where misty wetlands whisper secrets. Austen's universe is presented with a rawness where muddy boots meet delicate china and heavy tea bags signal more than just a drink.

The artist group behind the work – with Nadja Hjorton, Amanda Apetrea, Lisen Rosell, Chrisander Brun, and Daniel Åkerström Steen leading the way – have spent years refining a unique scenic language. Their creative process revolves around desire, corporeality, sexuality, humor, and a direct, engaging audience connection. Through collective research and a non-hierarchical working method, they allow text, body, space, light, mask, and costume to merge into a seamless and powerful whole.

This team is known for their trailblazing productions. Previous collaborations include the attention-grabbing Grottbjörnens folk at Turteatern in 2017, and ensemble members were most recently praised for Fäbodjäntan at Dramaten.

This production from Turteatern promises a theatrical experience that is both deeply rooted in the classic and bursting with contemporary relevance. Don't miss the chance to rediscover Pride and Prejudice like you've never seen it before.
