Are you addicted to Darcy? Or bonkers for big balls? Then come and celebrate the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth by skipping to join festival favourite Penny Ashton (Iron Chicken Winner 2017, Promise & Promiscuity), Lori Dungey (M3GAN, LOTR) and Hamish Oliver (CSO, NZSO) in an entirely improvised Austenian musical!

Expect charming suitors, meddlesome mothers, witty ditties and surprisingly well-educated “girls” as they create a vivid Regency romp of song, dance, and passionate handholding.

“Hilarious, side-splitting nonsense to create tears of joy” (ODT)

“Jane Austen would be turning in her grave…with delight” Rip It Up Adelaide
