Proud Mary and Prejudiced Lydia

10-minute comedy
based on Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Bechdel test asks whether a work of fiction features at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. Proud Mary and Prejudiced Lydia goes even further. It never mentions any males at all.
