This holiday season, Elyse Sharp ’12 will starred as Mary Bennet in Capital Stage Company’s production of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, directed by Capital Stage co-founder Peter Mohrmann.
In this imagined sequel to Pride and Prejudice, Mary Bennet is growing tired of her role as dutiful middle sister in the face of her siblings’ romantic escapades. When the family gathers for Christmas at Pemberley, an unexpected guest sparks Mary’s hopes for independence, an intellectual match, and possibly even love. This romantic comedy picks up two years after Jane Austen’s beloved tale ended.
