Death Comes to Pemberley

Death Comes to Pemberley

DEATH COMES TO PEMBERLEY


In this WORLD PREMIERE, the idyllic estate of Pemberley, home to Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's iconic "Pride and Prejudice" becomes the stage for a chilling mystery, imagined by one of Britain’s finest ever crime novelists, P.D James. The celebrated 'Queen of Crime’ was the creator of much loved detective Adam Dalgleish, featuring in fourteen novels and a TV series.


Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy are happily settled into married life . As preparations are underway for an annual ball, the tranquil atmosphere is shattered by the sudden arrival of Lydia Wickham, Elizabeth's flighty younger sister, who brings with her news of a murder in the nearby woods.


The victim is Captain Denny, an acquaintance from Mr. Darcy's regiment, and suspicion falls upon Wickham, Lydia's husband, whose tumultuous past and strained relationship with Darcy make him an easy target for blame. As the investigation unfolds, secrets long buried begin to surface, casting doubt on the innocence of those closest to Elizabeth and Darcy.


With the help of their loyal friend Colonel Fitzwilliam and the insightful guidance of George Wickham's childhood friend, lawyer Henry Alveston, Elizabeth and Darcy navigate the treacherous waters of rumor and gossip to uncover the truth behind the murder. Along the way, they confront their own vulnerabilities and the complexities of their relationships, testing the strength of their love and the bonds of family.


As the tension mounts and the trial approaches, romance, intrigue, and suspense are weaved together in a riveting tale that pays homage to Jane Austen's beloved characters while offering a fresh and compelling mystery that will captivate you until the final revelation. "Death Comes to Pemberley" is a testament to the enduring power of Austen's world and the timeless appeal of a well-crafted whodunit.


Simply not to be missed!
