Synopsis Erin Woods, acclaimed author of Jane Austen’s Christmas Cracker, brings her wit and charm to the Regency stage. How to Write a Regency Romance is a playful meta‑comedy that pulls back the curtain on the tropes we adore—spirited heroines, brooding gentlemen, and the delicate dance of courtship. As aspiring writers and would‑be lovers collide, the rules of romance are tested, twisted, and hilariously re‑imagined.

Audiences are swept into a world of drawing rooms, duels, and dazzling dialogue, where questions of love, art, and authenticity unfold against the backdrop of Regency society. Beneath the laughter lies Woods’s sharp exploration of gender, creativity, and the timeless allure of storytelling.
