From Terry Teachout - Wall Street Journal, "the stuff hits are made of... the ever-ingenious Ms. Hamill has given us something completely and delightfully different, a smallish-cast period-dress Pride and Prejudice that she’s done over in the revved-up manner of a Hollywood screwball comedy. The language is traditional but the approach is thoroughly modern, with six of the eight actors playing multiple roles, several of them in drag. Cleverly compressed... and adapted with fizzy, festive freedom, Ms. Hamill’s 'P&P' is full of 'Bringing Up Baby'-style slapstick and the kind of barely controlled chaos that you’d expect to see in a five-door Feydeau farce."
