Stage version of Pride and Prejudice still speaks to modern audiences

Is Jane Austen's 1813 Pride and Prejudice, by Dublin-based Gate Theatre as part of this year's Hong Kong Arts Festival, relevant to a contemporary local audience?

I didn't think so until the scene in which the heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, became passionate about Mr Darcy's real estate, Pemberley Woods, rather than the tall, dark and brooding protagonist himself.
