Promise & Promiscuity at The Royal Exchange

Promise & Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton

Flushed by twelve years of sold out successes from Edinburgh to Adelaide to Toronto, comes NZer Miss Ashton’s collaboration with Jane Austen (deceased). Join 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.

In this hilarious, one-(freakishly talented)-woman show, Penny tackles all of Austen’s characters with song, dance and appalling cross-stitching, and raises a toast to this literary superstar on her 250thbirthday.
