Promise & Promiscuity
4 Jul 2014 7:30 PM
Presented by: Arts on Tour New Zealand
A new musical by Penny Ashton and Jane Austen
Balls, breeches and bonnets....Charmingly accomplished Penny Ashton returns to Hamilton with her award-winning one-woman musical show inspired by Jane Austen’s delightful Pride & Prejudice.
Follow the fortunes of Miss Elspeth Slowtree as she battles literary snobbery, her mother’s nerves and Cousin Horatio, all armed with superior wit, blushing countenance 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.
Featuring classical music reworked by Robbie Ellis and lyrics by Ashton, Promise and Promiscuity delivers Penny Ashton unchaperoned to the provinces......quite frankly, it’s promiscuous.
