15 roles
The eldest and most beautiful Bennet daughter. Kind, idealistic, diffident. Always tries to do the right thing.
A year or two younger than Jane. Clever, spirited; can be sharp-tongued. Gets flustered, which makes her klutzy. Prides herself on good judgment. Not especially beautiful. Very very scared of marriage, after absorbing the lessons of her parents' marriage. (The actor playing Lizzy must not double.)
The third Bennet girl. Violent and dark undertones; prone to pedanticism and sulking. A dark goth Bronte character trapped in an Austen world. Coughs to get attention, or to make a point; may fancy that she is dying.
The youngest Bennet. Lively, prone to imitating others' behavior and eavesdropping.
The patriarch of the Bennet family. Finds amusement in absurdity; often looks for respectable escape from the chaos of his family life. Can be somewhat apathetic; probably a bit depressed, under everything. Enjoys antagonizing. Disappointed in marriage.
The matriarch of the Bennet family. Mostly a silly woman, of mean understanding and variable temper. Hypochondriac; when she's upset, she fancies that she's dying. The business of her life is to get her daughters married. She traumatizes her family with some regularity.
Lady Catherine's daughter; a gremlin. Probably allergic to sun. Underneath all her veils, she may be covered in scales.
Patrician Caesar-meets-drill sergeant.
A very rich, very beautiful young woman. Fancies herself witty.
One of the richest men in England. Too proper for his own good; awkward in most social contexts. Prides himself on self-control and good judgment. (The actor playing Mr. Darcy must not double.)
A pedantic, obtuse man. The original mansplainer. Rector to Lady Catherine.
An unfairly handsome and charming gentleman. Probably a sociopath. Raised with Darcy.
Loves the world and the world loves him. Mr. Darcy's particular friend. Almost literally a dog.
Same age as Lizzy. A practical girl with a good sense of humor. May be doubled with Mr. Bennet.
(All servants with lines in this production happen to be male.)
