About
Join the delightfully opinionated and quick-witted Jane Austen herself as she races through all six of her beloved novels in one hilariously fast-paced theatrical adventure. From awkward proposals and scandalous gossip, to dashing heroes, determined heroines and more misunderstandings than you can wave a bonnet at, every story gets the whirlwind treatment.
Whether you’re a lifelong Austen devotee who knows your Darcys from your Knightleys, or you’ve never read a single page, this clever comedy is packed with quick-fire humour, theatrical mayhem and plenty of unexpected twists. With a contemporary use of fun and a knowing wink at Austen’s enduring legacy, Jane Austen in 89 Minutes proves that true love, social disasters and meddling relatives never go out of style.
Six novels. Countless laughs. Just 89 minutes. What could possibly go wrong?
