After a successful season, Lady Cygnet is signing off…
Yes, dear readers, your suspicions are correct, the 2026 season of Pride and Prejudice was a glorious success. A reliable source reports that the final three shows sold out to much acclaim. Audiences were aglow with praise and good will, enjoying the performances of our fair cast.
Frankie and Tilly Feeney sparkled as sisters Elizabeth and Jane Bennet, stepping their way with grace through a series of romantic adventures, whilst India Smyth created a comedic uproar in her turn as the matrimonially obsessed Mrs Bennet. In their vibrantly beautiful gowns and dashing suits, our ensemble shone on the dancefloor, recreating the ball at Netherfield and beyond. The wonderful cast should be proud of their excellent performances, as should the admirable young crew of stage hands, without whom the night would never have progressed.
Thank-you, dear readers, for your support of this young company. Thank-you to participants – students and staff – across both schools for your good humour and eloquent work.
Lady Cygnet offers salutations to all!
Editor’s Note
And we offer our most heartfelt praise and thanks to dear Lady Cygnet, AKA our beloved Head of Senior Literature, Ms MJ Milburn, for her vital role in this magnificent triumph. We also give heartfelt thanks Ms Eimear Harridge (Assistant Head of Faculty of Language and Literature), who was a “producer extraordinaire” in the words of Ms Milburn!
