AUSTEN FOUND: THE UNDISCOVERED MUSICALS OF JANE AUSTEN

ONE NIGHT ONLY, to be recorded for Radio Broadcast.

"Oooooohhh Miss Elizabeth, do please play it again!"

Addicted to Darcy? Lost all Sense and Sensibility? Bonkers for Big Balls?

Well put down your cross-stitching and join with Auckland’s Leading Improv Troupe, ConArtists, 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.

"Now why didn’t I think of that!" Jane Austen

7pm August 12th, The Basement
Book at 09 307 3641 or bookings@conartists.co.nz

$10 ONLY

Starring Penny Ashton, Lori Dungey, Stayci Taylor, Greg Cooper, Nigel Burrows and plinking on the pianoforte…Ross Devereux.

"The entire cast did a magnificent job of capturing the essence of Jane Austen’s style in their parody without offending ardent fans or losing the enthusiasm of strangers to the genre… ConArtists are consummate performers. They make improv look so easy you’ll think you could get up and give it a go." – Theatreview May 2009
