Austenesque: Improvised Jane Austen
Friday 19 September from 8:15pm to 9:15pm
Join Austenesque as we improvise a never-before-seen tale of comedy and drama set in Jane Austen’s Regency England.
Meet virtuous heroines, scurrilous cads, scheming mamas and brooding gentlemen of good breeding. How will love find its way through drawing rooms filled with social faux pas, and promenades in the countryside, where sweet-words may hide darker truths? A singular and most agreeable story will unfold before your eyes!
Cast: Martine Barrie, Shanil De Silva, Mark Goodwin, Arthur Street, Evelia Taylor, Hannah Courtney, Harrison Stirzaker
Director, Coach and Tech: Sophie Long
Sold out shows at Sydney Fringe Comedy Festival 2024.
