Promise and Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton – Newcastle
Highlights
- Experience a hilarious one-woman show as Penny Ashton brings Jane Austen's characters to life with song and dance.
- Join Elspeth in battling literary snobbery while enjoying Penny's excellent ukulele skills and comedic flair.
- Delight in a polished performance that has captivated audiences over 600 times across Australia and beyond.
- Witness the charm of Newcastle as Penny Ashton returns for one special show at 90 De Vitre St.
After a 2025 sellout tour of Australia, Penny Ashton is back in Newcastle for one show only.
Flushed by 13 years of sold out successes from Edinburgh to Adelaide to Toronto comes New Zealander Miss Ashton’s collaboration with Jane Austen (deceased).
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 is a shiny polished ball with a veritable slew of awards and glowing reviews in its musical bonnet.
