Jane Austen Improvised
Straight from its Sold Out season in 2025, Jane Austen Improvised RETURNS To the Melbourne International Comedy Festival!
Dearest Friends,
It is with great delight that we extend an invitation to an evening that will transport you to the heart of Regency England, where charm and chaos mingle in perfect harmony. This performance, inspired by the wit and romance of Miss Jane Austen, is wholly improvised—a tale woven in the moment by our talented cast.
Each night, the story unfolds in a manner entirely unique, shaped by your very suggestions. You can expect spirited heroines, dashing suitors, meddlesome relatives, and misunderstandings aplenty, as we craft a narrative worthy of Austen’s pen—one that is never to be repeated.
Whether you are an ardent admirer of Austen’s works or simply in search of an evening filled with clever comedy, we assure you that this performance promises laughter, surprises, and an unforgettable journey into a world of tea, manners, and mischievous matchmaking. During Melbourne Comedy festival Jane Austen Improvised was delighted to have a sold-out run so to avoid disappointment please book early.
We do hope you will join us for what promises to be a most entertaining and memorable occasion.
Yours most sincerely,
The Cast of Jane Austen Improvised
P.S
For those who wish to embrace the spirit of the regency era we warmly encourage you to join us for a complimentary pre-show treat of tea and jam scones!—an ideal way to get into the mood of Austen’s world!
This show was originally created by Paul Rogan and Dan O’Connor with Impro Theatre in Los Angeles.
