After a decade away Ashton’s beloved Austen musical returns, sparkling as ever. 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… for a girl. In this hilarious, one — freakishly talented —woman show, Penny (NZ) tackles all of Austen’s characters with song, dance and appalling cross-stitching.
