Addicted to Darcy?
Lost all Sense and Sensibility? Bonkers for Big
Balls? Well put down your cross-stitching and join Auckland’s
leading improv troupe, ConArtists, (including Hot Pink Penny Ashton) as
they swoon, romp, and pianoforte their way through an entirely
improvised Austenian Musical. Charming suitors, meddlesome mothers,
tight breeches and surprisingly well educated girls will all paint a
vivid picture in song, dance and passionate hand
holding.
And even more
excitingly, all parts in this Regency Romp will be played by the sort
of person Austen celebrated most... women. Four of New
Zealand’s most experienced female improvisers will relish every role,
be it an odious suitor, a bumbling vicar or a sea-faring captain, and
show that Mr James Brown was quite incorrect...It is a Woman’s World
