“Hamill…has a gift for condensing three-volume novels into galloping two-act plays. Her screwball Pride and Prejudice…is as frolicsome as her earlier efforts. It hasn’t met a rib it can’t tickle.”
—The New York Times
“…a laugh-out-loud adaptation… Hamill…give[s] Austen’s novel a deliciously antic sensibility.”
—TheaterMania
“Hamill’s Pride and Prejudice has fun and charm to spare…[it] is full of high spirits and genuine mirth.”
—New York Magazine
