From the award-winning creators of Austen’s Women, I, Elizabeth, Christmas Gothic, and A Room of One’s Own. Austen’s Women are back – in a brand-new solo comedy show!
Devil-may-care Lady Susan, the coquettish black widow, 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.
A darkly comic tale of society and the women trapped within it; their struggles, their desires, their temptations and manipulations – and at the vanguard, Lady Susan: charming, scheming, witty, and powerful; 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, this piece is performed by Rebecca Vaughan and directed by Andrew Margerison.
