Creator Contributors
Abstract/Description Penny Ashton’s passion for playing fast and fruitfully with the works of Jane Austen has entertained Aotearoa NZ for some 15 years, starting with the improvised Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen (2009-10 then 2018-23). Her scripted solo version of Promise and Promiscuity played from 2013 to 2020. She has also excelled in writing and performing solo pastiches of Dickens (Olive Copperbottom, 2017-2023) and Shakespeare (The Tempestuous, 2023-24, scheduled for Circa Two this November).
