Character Breakdown
Actor Track 1
This role has been CAST. (plays Jane/Miss de Bourgh) Female, late 20s-early 30s, open ethnicity.
The eldest of the Bennet sisters, Jane is unassuming, kind, and generous-hearted. Considered to be
the daughter most likely to make a good match, Jane bears the burden of the family connections and
financial future. She almost instantly falls in love with Bingley and his enthusiasm. She has a strong
sense of duty that prevents her from pursuing her true desires. Through the play she discovers her
own independence and desires and makes the decision to seize control of her relationship with
Bingley. Lady Catherine’s daughter Miss de Bourgh is a somewhat frightening creature, who never
quite manages to articulate more than one word at a time. The Miss de Bourgh is quite pampered,
snobbish, and self-important. Both roles require a RP dialect.
Actor Track 2
(plays Lizzy) Female, late 20s-early 30s, open ethnicity. Independent, proud, and outspoken, Lizzy
Bennet is determined not to marry, but instead to forge her own path. Naturally witty, Lizzy often uses
humor as a way to deflect her insecurities, to cheer her friends, or cut someone down to size. She is
fiercely loyal and sometimes oversteps her bounds to protect them. Although quite intelligent, Lizzy
can get easily flustered by romance, which manifests in an awkward klutziness. Because of her fear of
marriage and her innate cynicism, Lizzy hesitates to reveal her vulnerabilities and heart to Darcy.
Requires a RP Dialect.
Actor Track 3
(plays Lydia/Lady Catherine) Female, early - mid 20s, open ethnicity. The youngest daughter of the
Bennet family, Lydia is impetuous, boy-crazy, and incredibly competitive with her sisters. Lydia is
prone to stealing alcoholic drinks at balls and eavesdropping. She often argues with her mother’s
advice or ignores it completely. For all her faults, she is fun-loving and the life of the party. Lady
Catherine is a fierce matriarch who is used to getting her own way. A strong personality, she is
demanding and imperious. Lady Catherine is determined that Darcy should marry her daughter and
will eradicate anyone who impedes that from taking place. Requires a RP Dialect.
Actor Track 4
(Mr. Darcy) Male, late 20s - late 30s. Darcy is often hampered by his own sense of propriety and his
overwhelming shyness. He believes strongly in following the rules of society and disapproves of those
who step out of line. Although deeply sensitive, his outward demeanor comes off as aloof and distant.
A classic introvert, he fears social embarrassment and has difficulty starting conversations with
unfamiliar people. Darcy is fiercely loyal to his friends and family and endeavors to honorably conduct
himself in business and in personal affairs. He has difficulty telling lies -- even white lies. Darcy also
has a quiet and intelligent wit, which is invigorated by sparring with Lizzy. Requires a RP Dialect.
Actor Track 5
(Mr. Collins/Mr. Wickham/Miss Bingley) Open gender, late 20s - mid 30s, open ethnicity. Pedantic and
self-important, Mr. Collins is “the original mansplainer”. He reverently adores his patron, Lady
Catherine de Bourgh, and demands that everyone else do so as well. Mr. Collins is a bit sweaty and
slimy, but believes himself to be quite a catch. Mr. Wickham, on the other hand, is effortlessly
handsome and charming with a bad-boy edge. He is comfortable in his own skin, even when he is in
the wrong.
