PRAISE FOR MS. CREOLA’S
STAGE ADAPTATION
“Bucket Productions’ theatrical adaptation of Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice,’…unfolds like a good episode of Masterpiece Theatre. It is just as British, just as stuffy, and just as engaging -- even without a setup and close from Cooke or Russell Baker. …This period piece works despite the fact it is strictly a no frills flight. There are no sets, only a few pieces of furniture here and there. Lissa Creola has done a masterful job of wrestling the sprawling, wordy novel into a compact theatrical package.”
--Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“There’s a good reason Jane Austen is so popular on movie screens: great dialogue. That same quality makes Lissa Creola’s stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice delicious…The lean, efficient script crackled pleasantly at Thursday’s opening. Ms. Creola has taken on a difficult assignment and triumphed in the same modest but undeniable way as her heroines.”
--Dallas Morning News
“Stage Adaptation well received in Dallas” – “Her charming version includes Austen’s original language, which after all is the star of any production, and continues to sell out performances. Both playwright and actors do justice to the witty prose we love so well.”
--Jane Austen Society of North America
“Pride and Prejudice is a gem. It is a comprehensive adaptation that captures the original feel of Austen’s
work and wit.”
--Fontana Herald
“Lissa Creola did an exemplary job of condensing a long, complex story into something which would be producible
on the stage.”
--Yucaipa News Mirror
