“Kitty Bennet”

Based on Jane Austen’s acclaimed novel of the same name, the play traced the life of Elizabeth Bennet — a headstrong British heroine navigating societal issues like class, education and marriage. “At its core, this story addresses the importance of overcoming damaging judgments [and] of championing our own dignity in the face of harsh social restrictions.”
