'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.'
Of all Jane Austin's books Pride and Prejudice has earned a special place in the hearts of the reading public as her best-loved and most intimately known novel. From its famous opening sentence the story of Elizabeth and Darcy delights its most familiar readers as thoroughly as it does those who encounter it for the first time.
Juliet Stevensons's award-winning theatre work includes the lead roles in Hedda Gabbler, Burn This and Death and the Maiden. Her films include the acclaimed Truly, Madly, Deeply and Emma.
