History: The Cast and Costume Theater
Written on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 by Unknown
The cast of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is as follows:
Cast (13):
Daniel Vincent Gordh as William DarcyWhile this is a list of all of the actors on the show, there are many instances of "costume theater" in which Lizzie and usually another character will dress up and reenact moments from their lives. For example, before Darcy is introduced on camera he is shown via the characters dressing as him in costume theater. Lizzie might pretend to be him while one of her sisters pretends to be her. Instances with Lizzie by herself or characters dressing up without Lizzie are more rare, but can also occur.
Some characters are never shown and are only seen through use of costume theater, such as Lizzie's parents Mr. and Mrs. Bennet (with the exception of a glimpse of Mrs. Bennet's behind).
Example of Lizzie as Mrs. Bennet sobbing about the perpetually single and unmarried state of her daughters:
After a costume is used to portray an unavailable character, it becomes the one and only costume used from then on in order to avoid confusion. For example Lizzie is always the plaid button down shirt, Darcy is always the bow-tie and newsie cap (click for image of both of them in these outfits), and Mrs. Bennet is always the above outfit of a shawl and sun hat (if that's what you'd call it?).
Here is a fun Fan-made amalgamation of all instances of Darcy costume theater:
And a Mrs. Bennet one too:
