Autumn in Cleveland; the weather is, of course, unpredictable, but the evenings are crisp with a hint of sweetness in the air that makes you want to curl up with a good book…or maybe even head to the Cleveland Play House to watch love bloom in Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Do it! But forget just about everything you think you know about this classic tale; this ain’t your Bubbie’s “Pride and Prejudice.”

P&P is given a comical gloss and feverish energy that makes this CPH production light, airy and damn funny.

Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, now at the Cleveland Play House, tries to have fun with the “game of love.” To some extent, director Michael Barakiva and his versatile cast of eight succeeded last Friday night, but at times the effort of creating a farce and simultaneously replicating Austen’s 1813 novel overwhelmed them.

Everything is over the top, from the scenery to the costume, magnifying the world Austen sensitively but poignantly criticizes. In Austen’s novel, the character flaws—especially those of male characters, including Mr. Darcy—are often pardoned and even celebrated in the narrative dictated by Elizabeth Bennet’s point of view. This adaptation underscores the “flaws” of the people who try to compromise with the flaws of themselves and their partners.
