Penny Ashton Returns With Promise & Promiscuity!
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a person in possession of a good fortune must be in want of... a darn good laugh!And the winner of 2018’s World Buskers Festival’s Iron Chicken and Best Theatre at the Adelaide Fringe is coming to Hastings to do just that - with the hilarious Jane Austen satire, Promise & Promiscuity.
After 10 years of rapturous performances, Penny Ashton is packing her bonnet and returning to Toitoi, this time to endear the newly refurbished Assembly Ballroom with another brilliantly funny show full of song, dance and appalling cross-stitch.
Follow the fortunes of Miss Elspeth Slowtree as she battles literary snobbery, her mother’s nerves and Cousin Horatio’s digestions, all armed with a superior wit, excellent ukulele skills and generally being quite bright… you know… for a girl.
Balls will be attended, crosses will be stitched and manners will be minded, all with not one ankle in sight.If you loved Olive Copperbottom last year, then you'll love this Regency era delight! And hey, if the one and only Colin Mochrie from Whose Line is it Anyway says you should see this show, then who are we to disagree?
