A literary double bill. 'Pride and Prejudice (2005) is an
adaptation of the classic novel by Jane Austen starring Keira
Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen. When wealthy Mr Bingley (Simon
Woods) and his friend the dashing Mr Darcy (MacFadyen) arrive in a
small Hertfordshire town, Mrs Bennett (Brenda Blethyn) sees it as
the perfect opportunity to marry off her eligible daughters. But
when Elizabeth Bennett (Knightley) meets Mr Darcy, their equally
headstrong natures get in the way of true love. 'Shakespeare in
Love' (1998) is a period comedy penned by Tom Stoppard, which won
won seven Oscars, including those for Best Picture, Actress,
Supporting Actress (Judi Dench) and Original Screenplay. In late
16th Century London, the theatre's most promising young playwright,
Will Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes), is suffering from writer's
block. Rose Theatre owner Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey Rush) is
desperate that Will's new play - tentatively entitled Romeo and
Ethel the Pirate's Daughter - be finished, while a new cast member,
Thomas Kent, is equally eager to make his stage debut. Kent has a
secret however: 'he' is actually Viola De Lesseps (Gwyneth
Paltrow), merchant's daughter and fiancé of Lord Wessex (Colin
Firth). Adopting a disguise to enter a trade forbidden to women,
matters become complicated when Will falls for her in her more
conventional garb. It may take the intervention of Queen Elizabeth
(Judi Dench) herself to make sure the course of true love runs
smoothly and that the show goes on.
