Throughout the Pride and Prejudice Novel Magazine, we've placed advertisements for the theatre. The featured plays—some imagined, some real—have been woven into our Regency zeitgeist by blending original playbill typography with our own interpretations and .ai-generated imagery.

​

Wherever possible, we've included actors' names from original productions. The .ai was guided to ensure male actors appear in striking red jackets, emphasising their roles as utter cads. You'll see this clearly in our selection of plays: The Beggar's Opera, The Clandestine Marriage, Don Juan, and our own creation, The Redcoat Rake. The only exception to this rule is Cinderella.

​

The Beggar’s Opera achieved huge popularity in the early 18th century. Its lead character, MacHeath—a highwayman, rogue, and womaniser—offered audiences a compelling antihero. Wickham himself might have coveted such a role had Darcy not intervened.
