After delighting crowds in 2025 Penny Ashton is skipping back to Hobartshire to do it all again in 2026!
ON SALE SOON
Flushed by thirteen years of sold out successes from Edinburgh to Sydney to Toronto comes 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.
Book now to avoid disappointment for the show that the President of The Jane Austen Society of Australia called; “...a joy. Fabulous acting, a wickedly clever script, and energy and fun from beginning to end. I didn't want it to stop!” Susanna Fullerton and Colin Mochrie told you to “Catch Promise and Promiscuity... Lots of fun. Thank me later.”
