Acting
An entirely improvised comedy play, with a cast who conjure up a 'lost' Jane Austen novel, based on nothing more than a title suggested by the audience.
When a young man's wife is chosen for ascension, a propaganda-fueled means to control overpopulation, he decides to challenge the oppressors no matter how futile his actions may be.
A house hunting couple quickly discover its not the property chain that they are getting caught up in.
Austentatious is an award-winning improvised comedy show in the style of the wondrous and witty Jane Austen. Every performance is made up on the spot based simply on a title suggested by the audience, so be it “Mansfield Shark”, “Darcy and Hutch” or “I Know What You Did Last Season”, no two shows are the same. Performed in period costume with live cello accompaniment, Austentatious is an immersive and hilarious treat for fans of Austen and improvised comedy alike.
