The search for love in a great age of romance
Five aspiring Mr Darcys and five Miss Bennets get the chance to live and find love by the rules of the great age of romance. For over two months these young people live in a country house exactly as it would have been in 1805, complete with 12 footmen, 17 maids and 32 chamber pots. In the highly-competitive and highly-charged atmosphere of the Regency House Party, marriage, money and morals are all up for grabs. Will Mr Darcy fall for the Countess or the Lady’s Companion? Will the rich woman of inferior birth use her money to buy favour, and does the lowly cleric stand a chance?
