Quirky, Great acting, Hilarious, Entertaining, Clever

See it if You're a fan of Jane Austen and you like the unexpected. It's a light-hearted, entertaining parody with many laugh out loud moments.

Don’t see it if You prefer to know the plot before you see a show. It's improv, so you won't know how the story is going to play out as it goes on.
