Travel back to Regency England for a night of arch romance, gender-swapped casting and Palestine solidarity. On Sunday, 12th October, a table read of Jane Austen’s beloved classic, Pride & Prejudice, will take place at Troxy, East London’s premier art deco venue, performed by a brilliant cast united by a desire to raise urgent funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians.
This one-off theatrical event is curated by Cinema for Gaza, an inclusive fundraising space founded by a diverse group of film professionals who, through voluntary efforts, have raised £269,206 for MAP since launching with an auction in April 2024.
The live table-read brings together such luminous talents as Ambika Mod, Daisy Ridley, Jameela Jamil, Jenna Coleman, Morfydd Clark, Nish Kumar, Susan Wokoma, Mawaan Rizwan, Priya Kansara, Amar Chadha-Patel, Jeff Mirza, Shazia Mirza and Asim Chaudhry, plus more names to be announced, for a fun and imaginative tribute to Austen’s enduring tale, helmed by director Nida Manzoor.
