‘Plied and Prejudice’ extends season after smashing success

The Perth run of Plied and Prejudice takes a classic to full throttle, and the team are extending the Perth season after its smashing success.

The comedic rollercoaster of a show will now run until Sunday, 26 October at His Majesty’s Theatre.

Presented by Alex Woodward for Woodward Productions and the Arts and Culture Trust, Plied and Prejudice, is a 90-minute, five-actor frenzy where twenty characters battle it out for love, status, and stage time – with one cast member “indisposed” each night.

No two shows are the same. No character is safe. No corset stays dry.

Written by Queensland’s Matthew Semple and directed by Sydney’s Dash Kruck, with set and costume design by Penny Challen and movement direction by Dan Venz, this is Austen with the volume up, the lights down, and a drink firmly in hand.

Helen Stewart, Manager at His Majesty’s Theatre, said, “Whether you prefer a stiff Dry Gin cocktail, or a tinnie of beer, you’re going to want to enjoy your favourite upper (or lower) class tipple for this show, and we’ve got you covered.”

So rally your unmarried besties, grab your least disappointing ex, and drag your long-suffering flatmate along for a night of scandalous elopements, awkward proposals, and the wettest wet t-shirt contest south of Broome.

Plied and Prejudice is at His Majesty’s Theatre until Sunday, 26 October. Tickets on sale now.
