An hilarious, one-(freakishly talented)-woman show. Flushed by 12 years of sold out successes from Edinburgh to Adelaide to Toronto and beyond, comes New Zealander Penny Ashton’s collaboration with Jane Austen (deceased).

Celebrate Austen’s 250th birthday by joining our musical heroine Elspeth, as she battles literary snobbery, cousin Horatio’s digestions and her mother’s nerves, armed only with a blushing countenance, excellent ukulele skills and being quite bright, you know… for a girl.
