The Oswego Players and Fort Ontario will present the romantic period comedy “Pride and Prejudice” on August 5th and 6, presented within the old stone fort.
Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet’s most urgent priority, but with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it’s difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but prideful Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit are common, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice and make the best match of all?
The cast includes Emma Armet, Victoria Armet, Jake Barton, Jillian Bell, Emma Deloff, Quincy Fauler, Ethan Fowler, Virgil Fitzgerald, Matt Fleming, Trevor Griffiths, Eva Kandt, Hannah Kandt, Ellie Laird, Oliva O’Connor, Leanna Rockwood, Annabella Sobrino, Grace Syrell, Wendy Thompson, Noah (Zail) Water and Lena Williams.
