Behind Plied and Prejudice: Matthew Semple on Adapting Austen "Our first season in Australia certainly exceeded our wildest expectations!" says Matthew Semple, the writer behind Plied and Prejudice, the raucous parody of Jane Austen's beloved novel that has stormed into London. The show opened at The Vaults in Waterloo on 13 March 2025 and runs through to 18 July, an immersive, booze-fuelled theatrical romp promising Regency-era characters, madcap comedy, and plenty of audience participation.

In this exclusive interview, Matthew Semple, writer of Plied and Prejudice, discusses how he transformed Pride and Prejudice into a chaotic, immersive comedy, filled with audience interaction.
