Fire alarm forces show onto street
In space, nobody can hear you scream... but they can hear the fire alarm that drove performer and punter alike onto the street.
British Comedy Guide, 18th August 2022Austentatious Q&A
Hang on to your bonnets - Jane Austen themed improv show Austentatious is currently on tour across the UK, and to celebrate, TVO caught up with the team and decided to ask each of them just one question.
The Velvet Onion, 15th October 2017The premise of Austentatious (18 June, 7.15pm, Radio 4) is that the great novelist actually wrote hundreds of lesser-known works, any one of which can be acted out by a troupe of improvisers including Amy Cooke-Hodgson, Graham Dickson, Charlotte Gittins and Cariad Lloyd if the audience only shout out its name. The extended canon includes Strictly Come Darcy and Mansfield Shark. The first one the team essay is Married to a Cad and a Bounder; the resulting programme works by marrying the pert formality and complex exposition favoured by Austen with a more modern sensibility. Most of all, it works, thanks to the comic reflexes of all concerned.
