A pleasant enough piece by an upbeat collection of actors, but unfortunately not quite a knock out performance overall. Jane Austen’s much loved romantic thriller Pride and Prejudice is well adapted partly I feel by the Mock the Week comedian Sara Pascoe, in the sense that it adopts a well thought out series of puns that really tickles at the core of Austen’s work. However, in parts it feels like watching several different versions of the story all at once.

(the fall of) The Master Builder is certainly one to make a note of. This emotional rollercoaster of a production brings to light the struggles of the man of the hour and Master Builder UK, Halvard Solness (Reece Dinsindale) and the dark past threatening to destroy his seemingly perfect life.
