The production is being directed by Assistant Professor of Drama, Dr. Mark Burnette. This stage adaptation, which was first performed at the Gate Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, "closely follows the action of the novel, while also taking advantage of the unique qualities of a live theatrical production," said Dr. Burnette.
This nineteenth-century English novel was chosen by the drama department for its "richly drawn characters and engaging dramatic conflict." The story tells of the Bennett girls and their quest to find suitable husbands. Centered on the headstrong Elizabeth Bennett and the proud Mr. Darcy, the story is filled with misjudgments, love, humor, and conflict.
Dr. Burnette directs one main stage production each year. He joined the Lee University faculty in 2004 and teaches a variety of theatre courses. He has also served as the faculty advisor for the summer Drama Day Camp.
