The holiday season seems to bring on an appetite for plays set in England during the 1800s (replete with mutton chop sideburns for the men, and dazzling dresses for the ladies). Capital Stage is surfing that wave with the local premiere of Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberly, a comic theatrical sequel to the ever-popular Jane Austen novel Pride and Prejudice.
