Austentatious

Austentatious: An Improvised Jane Austen Novel creates a completely new Regency comedy at every performance at London’s Vaudeville Theatre, inspired by a title suggested by the audience. A cast of improvisers invents the plot, characters and dialogue on the spot while maintaining the manners, romantic entanglements and literary style associated with Jane Austen. Performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment, the West End show is both an affectionate tribute and a spontaneous comedy: no script, no repeated story and no guarantee that decorum will survive.
