Meanwhile, Louis Partridge will take on the role of the scheming Mr Wickham, with Jamie Demetriou playing the pompous Mr Collins, Daryl McCormack as Jane’s beloved Mr Bingley, Siena Kelly as his sister Caroline, and Shaw as the fearsome Lady Catherine de Bourgh.

The production is being led by bestselling author Dolly Alderton and directed by Euros Lyn (Heartstopper).
