Tickets:

£20. Under 25s and f/t students £15 (includes £4 booking fee)

The award-winning creators of Austen’s Women, Female Gothic, Christmas Gothic, and A Room of One’s Own are back with a brand-new solo comedy show.

Meet devil-may-care black widow, Lady Susan, hunting down not one, but two fortunes. Oppressed, rebellious daughter Frederica, long-suffering sister-in-law Catherine, family matriarch Mrs De Courcy, and insouciant best friend Alicia.

Return to the Regency (or rather, Georgian) in this wickedly funny tale of society and the women trapped within it, their struggles, their desires, their temptations, and manipulations. At the vanguard is the charming, scheming, witty, and powerful Lady Susan taking on society and making it her own.  But has she met her match?

Based on Jane Austen’s first full-length work from 1794, the piece is performed by Rebecca Vaughan and directed by Andrew Margerison.

This is Austen as you’ve never seen her before!
