5 Things to do this week

Pride and Prejudice at Icicle Creek Center for the Arts

Icicle Creek Center for the Arts presents the opening night of Kate Hamill’s “Pride and Prejudice” based on the novel by Jane Austin on Friday, Nov. 17 from 7:30-10 p.m.

“This isn’t your grandmother’s Austen,” the event page states. “Bold, surprising, boisterous, and timely, this P&P for a new era explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life.”

“The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society,” the event page states. “But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing, and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?! Literature’s greatest tale of latent love has never felt so theatrical, or so full of life than it does in this effervescent adaptation. Because what turns us into greater fools…than the high-stakes game of love?”
