AUSTENTATIOUS To Extend Run At Savoy Theatre Until July

Austentatious: The Improvised Jane Austen Novel has extended its run at the Savoy Theatre, with two further dates announced today in June and July.

The monthly dates at the Savoy will take place on the Sundays of 15th April, 20th May, 17th June & 8th July.

Austentatious is an entirely improvised comedy play, starring a cast of the country's sharpest comic performers, who conjure up a 'lost' Jane Austen novel based on nothing more than a title suggested by the audience. Whether you've read all of Austen's works or none of them, this hilarious show will be a totally new experience.

Performed in full Regency costume with live musical accompaniment, no two shows are ever the same. Previous 'lost' masterpieces include The Sixth Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Shark and Double 0 Darcy. Expect witty heroines, dashing gents and preposterous plots. Swooning guaranteed.

Ed Bartlam of Underbelly Productions said: "The West End audience simply can't get enough of Austentatious' hilariously unique, Jane Austen-inspired improvisation, so we've had to add another two dates to their impressive run at The Savoy. It's been one of the most successful and best-loved shows we've worked with at both the Edinburgh Fringe and Southbank Festival, and now it's proving itself a huge success in London's West End too."

Austentatious added: "We are honoured to receive such a flattering invitation to extend our West End residency! Nothing could be more pleasing to us than a small, intimate gathering of friends, observed by 1200 more, slightly more distant (but no less dear) friends."
