Pride and Prejudice with Harris Dickinson and Marisa Abela: Which Audiobook Is It?

YOUR LISTENING GUIDE

Harris Dickinson is Darcy. Marisa Abela is Elizabeth.

Harris Dickinson and Marisa Abela play Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet in the 2025 Audible Original adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. This English-language audio drama runs four hours and 34 minutes, with a full cast, an original score and sound design.

Who else is in the cast?

Glenn Close plays Lady Catherine de Bourgh, while Marianne Jean-Baptiste and Bill Nighy play Mrs and Mr Bennet. The wider ensemble includes Will Poulter as Wickham, Jessie Buckley as Caroline Bingley and Toheeb Jimoh as Bingley.

Is this a reading of the complete novel?

Lulu Raczka adapted Austen’s novel for audio, with Dionne Edwards directing the cast. This is a scripted drama, rather than a sentence-by-sentence reading of the book. An unabridged narration serves a different purpose if you want to follow Austen’s prose in full.

Audible describes the adaptation as giving access to Elizabeth’s inner perspective. Her thoughts are part of the dramatic approach, alongside the dialogue between characters.

Music and Dolby Atmos

Morgan Kibby composed the original score, and Brain Audio created the sound design. Audible presents the production in Dolby Atmos, combining the cast’s performances with music and a soundscape.

Where can you listen?

The English-language adaptation is on Audible through Amazon.com. The French and other language adaptations have separate casts; Dickinson and Abela perform in English.
