Promise & Promiscuity
About
Promise & Promiscuity: A New Musical by Jane Austen and Penny AshtonAfter selling out all over Australia in 2025 Penny Ashton is skipping back to do it all again in 2026! Flushed by 13 years of excitable applause from Edinburgh to Adelaide to Toronto, comes New Zealander Penny Ashton’s collaboration with Jane Austen (deceased).
Join our musical heroine 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, Kiwi Penny Ashton tackles all of Austen’s characters with song, dance and appalling cross-stitching.
“Catch Promise & Promiscuity... Lots of fun. Thank me later.” Colin Mochrie
