Why Watch Plied and Prejudice?
- After a sell-out run in Australia, this riotous Pride & Prejudice remix comes to The Vaults in London, crafted by the team behind A Very Naughty Christmas for Austen fans and chaos lovers alike.
- From awkward proposals to scandalous elopements, the story of Elizabeth and Darcy gets a boozy, bawdy makeover, complete with a lake scene turned wet t-shirt showdown.
- This immersive 18+ comedy invites audiences to heckle freely and dress to impress in their best Regency-era attire, with the night continuing at a lively afterparty with the Bennets and Bingleys.
- Brace for total Regency mayhem in Plied and Prejudice, where five actors juggle 20 roles in 120 minutes of “panto and parody with a side-order of farce” (London Unattached) in a night that goes spectacularly off-script.
Plied and Prejudice is Jane Austen as you’ve never seen her before, reimagined as a raunchy Regency affair with cocktails, chaos, and comedy. After a sell-out run in Australia, this hit parody lands at The Vaults in London, courtesy of the team behind A Very Naughty Christmas. Five actors take on 20 characters in 120 minutes, diving headfirst into scandalous elopements and disastrous proposals. No two shows are ever the same, thanks to nightly on-stage mishaps and impromptu improvisation. Once the drama (on stage) ends, the dancing begins, and audiences are invited to join the cast for an afterparty, featuring a Regency dance lesson before moving to the floor for Movie Mixes: pop bangers mashed up with Austen-era flair. Book your Plied and Prejudice tickets to join the mayhem for a night where, as The Sun put it, you'll be “crying with laughter.”
Storyline
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single woman in Regency England must be in want of a very stiff drink. Plied and Prejudice is a wildly unpredictable Austen retelling where five actors play over 20 roles, and no two performances are ever quite the same. Brace yourself for all the highs and lows of Austen’s world of proposals, scandals, elopements, and the story of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy as you’ve never seen it before.

The Vaults Theatre
The Vaults is one of London’s most electrifying theatre spaces. Hidden beneath Waterloo Station in a maze of Victorian railway arches, this immersive venue has become a playground for experimental, offbeat, and underground theatre. Since opening to the public in the 2010s, The Vaults has hosted everything from satirical musicals and immersive horror to cult reimaginings like Alice’s Adventures Underground, and Mulan Rouge. With its graffiti-covered walls and flexible performance spaces, The Vaults offers an experience unlike any traditional West End theatre. The Vaults “operating hours” are from 10am - 6pm daily in terms of admin, and then the venue is only open during live hours during Thursday - Saturday evenings.
