Students make Tantrum Theater’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ possible

Few moments in literary history are as defining as the release of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” in 1813. Facing down such a monumentally influential piece of work, the Ohio University students who make up the cast of Tantrum Theater’s production of Austen’s novel are up to the challenge.

The production, written by Kate Hamill and directed by Sullivan White, opened Thursday and runs until Nov. 9., with tickets going from $10-$25 and potentially free student tickets for those with a valid OU ID if the show is not sold out. The performances are all in the Forum Theater in the Radio and Television Building, located at 35 S. College St. Hamill’s adaptation of Austen’s foundational novel takes a zany, physical-comedy-oriented approach without significantly changing the plot.
