Pride and Prejudice

Turteatern's celebrated production of Pride and Prejudice returns, ready to once again warm the cup and invite the audience to an unforgettable interpretation of Jane Austen's classic. The performance, which premiered in 2021, is a free and frank re-imagining that challenges and embodies Austen's timeless work.

The actors and directors Amanda Apetrea and Lisen Rosell, along with set designer Chrisander Brun and costume designer Daniel Åkerström Steen, have created a completely unique and liberating version of Austen's eternal novel. They take their cue from the familiar story and highlight aspects of desire, corporeality, and humor in a way that is both surprising and deeply engaging.

The performance transports you to a embracing yet tartly romantic world. Here, you'll meet steaming teacups, precariously tipping inkwells, and rosy cheeks from both love and fever. Prepare to experience lavish furnishings, sharply critical class disdain, stiff breasts in strait laced cotton, and misty wetlands. It's an Austen-esque universe where dirty taverns hang alongside fragile china, and heavy tea bags tell stories of hidden desires.

The core of this production lies in the artistic group's unique scenic language. Over time, they've refined an expression centered on desire, corporeality, sexuality, humor, and direct audience contact. Through collective research and a non-hierarchical collaboration between text, body, space, light, mask, and costume, they create their own, living scenic universes with familiar references as a starting point.

This acclaimed artistic group, with names like Nadja Hjorton, Amanda Apetrea, Lisen Rosell, Chrisander Brun, and Daniel Åkerström Steen, has a long history of pioneering collaborations. Their joint work has previously given us critically acclaimed performances like Fäbodjäntan at Dramaten in the spring of 2026 and Grottbjörnens folk on Turteatern in 2017, guaranteeing an experience beyond the ordinary.

Don't miss the chance to experience Pride and Prejudice in a rendition you'll rarely forget. Please note that the performance is directed towards an adult audience and is recommended for viewers 15 years or older.
