About

Marin Theatre Company rings in the holiday season with the world premiere of Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley. Penned by MTC Mellon National Playwright in Residence Lauren M. Gunderson and former Director of New Play Development Margot Melcon, the final installment of the Christmas at Pemberley trilogy follows Mr. Darcy’s younger sister, Georgiana—an accomplished pianist—and the youngest Bennet sister, Kitty. Georgiana, shy but creative, is living under the scrutiny of her commanding older brother; Kitty, now free of the influence of her gregarious sister Lydia, is Georgiana’s joyful, practical best friend. It is Christmastime at Pemberley and the pair impatiently await the imminent arrival of Henry Grey, Georgiana's equally shy secret correspondent. When the gentleman enters a family holiday in full force and is met by the unwelcoming presence of Mr. Darcy, Georgiana fears her chance at love will be lost forever. The future is never certain, however, and love has a way of arriving exactly when it is meant to. The world premiere of Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley is a co-commission by Marin Theatre Company in partnership with the Jungle Theater in Minneapolis and Northlight Theatre in Chicago.

SF/Arts Curator Insight

Jane Austen wrote about Elizabeth—and to a lesser degree her sister Jane--in “Pride and Prejudice.” Happily, local playwrights Lauren M. Gunderson and Margot Melcon have filled in the gaps, foregrounding Mary and then Lydia in the first two of their “Christmas at Pemberley” trio at Marin Theatre. Now, “Georgiana & Kitty” explores the lives of, respectively, stern Mr. Darcy’s younger sister and her good friend, the musically inclined fourth of the five Bennet sisters.
