theatre company trying to put on a production of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. A lot goes wrong and they change the script to the point that it is only recognizable by the character's names; the final show they put on includes a bear, pirates, New York, and a tap off. It was well done and very funny, we were laughing a lot. The theatre was a fringe theatre, which means it was smaller and farther away from the West End. This one was above a pub and only sat about 60-70 people, our group comprised a third of the audience. Needless to say, it was an intimate space, but it worked well with the storyline and was neat to experience something so different from my perception of theatre. The play wasn't trying to change the world, it just provided an enjoyable evening of light hearted entertainment that we appreciated.

Sounds like it could have been really funny or just turned out really bad, I'm glad it was the first one.
I'm glad it turned out well after all the trouble of getting the tickets.
