Synopsis

In Pride And Prejudice: Having A Ball, social historian Amanda Vickery leads the action as a team of experts recreate a Regency ball in honour of the 200th anniversary of Jane Austen’s popular novel. Joined by Alastair Sooke and a coterie of professionals – a food historian, a costume expert, music history academics and a choreographer who trains a team of dance students to take to the floor– cameras will follow the recreation inspired by Austen’s Netherfield ball. This intimate country house ball drives the plot of the Pride And Prejudice, and is a key turning point in the romance between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy.

Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
louiseculmer A fascinating programme in which it is shown in detail all the work that went into planning and giving a ball in Regency England. We see the dancers practising their steps, and finding out exactly how strenuous it was to do Regency country dancing (professional ballet students sweating and breathless, marvelling at the stamina of Regency dancers). we see the preparation of the delicious and elaborate food for the supper. we see the ladies and gentlemen dressing for the dance. finally we see the actual ball, and it is a delight to have such a vivid and accurate vision of how things were at such an event. if you have any interest in the regency period in general, or in Jane Austen in particular, this should interest you.
