London’s Park Theatre has announced its Park200 Christmas show for 2026, featuring Jane Asuten-themed festivities. The Park will host the UK premiere of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, a festive return to the world of Pride and Prejudice told from the perspective of Mary Bennet.
Mary Bennet is having a festive moment. Pride and Prejudice’s most overlooked sister is set to take the stage at the Park Theatre this Christmas with Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley as its main house Christmas show.
Artistic Director Jez Bond said, “What joy we have in store for our audiences this Christmas. Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley is the perfect winter treat; inventively blending Jane Austen with warmth, comedy and festivities.
I’m delighted to be partnering with Adam Blanshay productions once more and together bringing this hit play to UK audiences for the first time.”
Christmas at Pemberley
Written by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon, the play sees the Bennet sisters reunite at Pemberley over the holidays. While Elizabeth and Jane have found the lives they were always destined for, Mary Bennet remains trapped in the role everyone has written for her, until Lord Arthur de Bourgh arrives for the festivities and offers her the possibility of a wholly different future.
Smart, funny and emotionally incisive, the play gives Jane Austen’s most overlooked heroine the story she was never allowed to have.
Following a sell-out run in Chicago, the play will run at the Park Theatre from 2 December to 10 January, marking its UK premiere.
