About Trelawny Kean
Lydia Bennet Works in Finance is a debut theatre-comedy piece by Trelawny Kean, reimagining the youngest Bennet sister from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It is 2025 and Lydia is armed with sass, ambition and no chill — no longer a footnote in someone else's love story. Following a previous Edinburgh Fringe show in 2024, this debut from Kean catapults Austen's most chaotic sister into a sharp, funny and unexpectedly heartfelt exploration of self-destruction, reinvention and the beautiful, brutal mess of sisterhood. The show runs for 50 minutes at Ivy Studio and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A clever Austen update that puts Lydia Bennet centre stage rather than at the edges of someone else's story. Funny and genuinely moving — a debut worth watching.
