Pick of the Week
Pride & Prejudice
Who could be more perfect to retell the author's most beloved novel as opposed to her royal highness Julie Andrews? Although missing Colin Firth soaking wet, the Hollywood great serves as a delightful and true voice of this classic love story featuring Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy. The show, split across multiple segments, doesn't just honors the 250-year mark of the author's birth – it’s Andrews’s ninetieth birthday as well!
