The National Trust play host to Heartbreak Productions on July 30, as they present Pride and Prejudice in the historic grounds of Godolphin.

Performing their ‘hilarious adaptation’ of the novel, the theatre company will provide an evening of high society and scandal.

The performance promises to wow a whole new audience with an elegant display of wit and refined mischief; so why not bring along a comfy low-backed chair, sit back and soak up the atmosphere of this theatrical classic.
