In the plush ballrooms of high society, Mrs Bennet sees too well the value of a strategic union. But her five daughters all have ambitions of their own. Jane and Elizabeth want to marry for love (whatever that means). Mary’s stuck in a goth phase, Lydia’s hot for the local militia, and Kitty is… well, we don’t need to talk about Kitty. With the cost of living rising, and Mr Bennet played by a potted monstera, how will the Bennet family hold onto their precarious position on the property ladder?
Following sell-out seasons, critical acclaim and a slew of awards, Bloomshed returns with a searing social satire dressed as a period drama, wrestling with the function of ‘love’ in the twenty-first century.
