Promise and Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny Ashton - Hobart

WOman dressed in Jane Austen style costume leaning on a tree
After a 2025 sellout tour of Australia, Penny Ashton is back in Hobart. 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. Discount available on groups of 6 Adults or more.
