Description
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews.  This week Vidar was reviewing the Lawrence Olivier award winning comedy musical Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) as the current touring production visited the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre with description by Professional audio describer Remy Lloyd. About Pride and Prejudice* (*sort of) Direct from its triumph in the West End where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, this is a unique and audacious retelling of Jane Austen’s most iconic love story. Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance.  This multi-award-winning production features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain. It’s the 1800s. It’s Party Time. Let The Ruthless Matchmaking Begin.
