Huzzah! Clear your dance cards because global hit Promise & Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and NZ’s Penny Ashton is finally romping into Sydneyshire. ‘Catch Promise & Promiscuity… Lots of fun. Thank me later.’ Colin Mochrie "Ashton is a consummate performer. She has honed the characters superbly with an extraordinary range of facial expressions, gestures, stance and amazingly different voices." Australian Stage Flushed by twelve years of sold out successes from Edinburgh to Adelaide to Toronto comes New Zealander Miss Ashton’s collaboration with Jane Austen (deceased). In 2025 Penny is celebrating the 250th anniversary of Austen’s birth with an Australian tour. ‘Pride & Prejudice gone wild in the best way.’ Rip It Up (Adelaide) ★★★★★ Join Elspeth as she battles literary snobbery, cousin Horatio’s digestions and her mother’s nerves, armed only with a blushing countenance, excellent ukulele skills and being quite bright, you know… for a girl. In this hilarious, one-(freakishly talented)-woman show, Penny tackles all of Austen’s characters with song, dance and appalling cross-stitching. Having been performed over 600 times, Promise and Promiscuity has gathered a veritable slew of awards and glowing reviews; Best Theatre, Week Three Adelaide “A razor-sharp turn of phrase” ★★★★1/2, Adelaide Advertiser “..sparkling” ★★★★ The Scotsman “..sparkling”“..brilliantly performed, absolutely hilarious, and by far the best one-person show I’ve ever seen..” Mooney on Theatre, Toronto

Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
