A priest is torn when his brother confesses to a very serious crime in the confessional. Should he keep his brother’s secret or break the seal of confession? What unfolds challenges his and our beliefs that we can accept the truth, even when it is unpalatable.
Please note, one of the female actors needs to be a young teenager playing an eleven-year-old girl.
This play was first performed as part of the Worthing Theatre Trail in 2021 to full houses.

This is a fast-paced shortened version of Pride and Prejudice, where the two male and two female actors play all 15 different characters in the play, using very fast changes and adding to the humour. One of the males plays three elderly females as well as a young man.
This play was first performed in Worthing Theatre Trail in 2024 and proved so popular that it was taken on tour in 2025 by Breakwater Performers, culminating in two sold-out shows at the Jane Austen Festival in Bath.
Potted Pride and Prejudice is published by Lazy Bee Scripts.

SUITABLE FOR ALL: Yes
A two-act adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice first performed by Rustington Players in November 2024 to great acclaim. This play is as true to the original novel as a stage adaptation can be, using Austen’s original words where possible and focusing on her ironic humour; whilst conforming to the modern style of playwriting, being 2 hours in length and without too many stage directions.
It is very suitable for amateur dramatics, having a variety of smaller and some larger roles across a range of age groups.

This iconic story originally written and set in the early 1800s was superbly brought to life by Nadya Henwood, who directed the action and adapted the plot for the stage….This is the first pre-1900s play that I have seen for a very long time and apart from the acting, staging, scenery and technical side which excelled, it made such a welcome change for once in a while not to hear of murders, mental health problems, distress, swearing and the problems of our modern society. I just sat back and enjoyed a couple of hours of thoroughly delightful theatre. Congratulations to all involved with the production.
