In this BBC radio full-cast dramatisation of one of Jane Austen's most beloved works, Mrs Bennet is determined to see her five daughters married off and secure a future for them all.

When the wealthy Mr Bingley arrives in the neighbourhood, Mrs Bennet wastes no time in making his acquaintance. His friend Mr Darcy, however, discourages Mr Bingley from marrying Jane Bennet and also appears to snub her sister Elizabeth.

When Elizabeth hears that Mr Darcy himself is of poor character, her innate prejudice of him is reinforced and she roundly refuses his unexpected proposal of marriage. But then, when she discovers that she was misinformed, Elizabeth wonders if she can ever hope to see Mr Darcy again....

Published over 200 years ago, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the British nation's favourite novels. Among the star cast in this radio production are Amanda Root, Pippa Nixon, Samantha Spiro and David Troughton.

This title is part of the BBC's Jane Austen collection.

I love P&P and this is a good shortened version. Mrs. Bennet's voice was akin to the sound of nails on a chalkboard causing me to cringe at every one of her lines.

Definitely an abridged version

I love Jane Austen stories. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite of her stories and listening to it on audio makes it even better. It was almost like watching the movie.

Great audio

This is a delightful adaptation of Pride and Prejudice with an excellent cast, apart from L. Wilson whose Jane Bennet is utterly insipid and so sugary sweet that it makes your teeth ache listening to her.

The only major drawback is that BBC was surprisingly sparing with the episodes: this version of P&P only consists of 3. As a consequence we are raced through all important events with a crash-boom-bang. There is hardly 5 minutes for the 1st marriage proposal, for Darcy's letter or Elizabeth's introspection of herself. If there were 4 episodes, there wouldn' t be such a rush to finish the story.

All in all, it is worth listening to.

Delightful, but too short

If you love theatre and love the story of Pride and Prejudice, then you must listen to this audio. It’s a simple dramatization of the beloved classic and performed well. You feel like you’re in the midst of your favorite characters as they laugh together and argue together. This was a joy!

Simply Wonderful

I fully enjoyed listening to a full cast version of P&P as opposed to one person playing all roles. The sound affects and additions were marvelous; however, I'm not sure if I'm super keen on added lines not in the original. Although I would listen again to this undoubtedly, I could do without that.

Couldn't hope for a better dramatization.The background score was brilliant and other sounds made it easier to imagine the era.It was like a movie for the ears without straining the eyes.Loved the narrator who played Mrs Bennet!Elizabeth sounded a bit like Keira Knightley(which was a bonus!)and Mr Darcy and Mr Bingley were brilliant!

Loved it!loved it!loved it!!
