Austentatious
An Improvised Jane Austen Novel


Archived show
This show is from a previous year's festival
Austentatious is a deceptively simple idea: audiences are asked to place imaginary titles of an Austen novel into a hat, one of these is selected at random and immediately turned into an hour-long improvised performance. Whether it’s Northanger Rabbi, Strictly Come Darcy or Fear And Loathing in West Hampshire, no two shows are ever the same and the results are always hilarious!
After total sell out runs in London & Edinburgh, and appearances on BBC Radio 2 & Radio 4 Extra this critically acclaimed show is delighted to finally be performing at Machynlleth! Featuring rising comedy stars, Cariad Lloyd (Crims, Cardinal Burns), Rachel Parris (The IT Crowd, ThroneCast) & Joseph Morpurgo (Harry & Paul).
“A joy to behold.” ★★★★ The Guardian
“Constant wit & verve” ★★★★ The Times
“Supersmart and terrifically funny.” ★★★★The Scotsman
