Behind The Curtain
In Austentatious, the passionate ensemble navigates their way through performing a fictional, “lost” Jane Austen novel each night (picked by the audience, of course). Every night is unique, you’ll be doubled over with laughter as the play, which takes its cues in innuendos, miscommunication, and corpsing, performed in period costume to live music after the audience is given the opportunity to select the title of the book. It’s the pinnacle of period drama parody, with assured swooning and razor-sharp wit!

The show is written, performed and produced by an all-star cast, which is made up of award-winning TV and Radio starring performers, including Rachel Parris (The Mash Report, Live at the Apollo), Cariad Lloyd (QI, Inside No.9, Griefcast, The Witchfinder), Joseph Morpurgo (Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee), and many more
