Undoubtedly one of
the most talked about shows on the improvised comedy circuit, Austentatious:
An Improvised Novel is an
hour long comedy play spun in the inimitable style of Jane Austen and based
entirely on audience suggestions. Never has Austen been more hilarious! A seasoned cast
including: Cariad Lloyd (Fosters Best Newcomer Nominee 2011), Rachel
Parris (Hackney Empire Finallist 2011), Amy Cooke-Hodgson (Olivier winning
La Boheme), Joseph Morpurgo (Oxford Imps), Graham Dickson (UCB) &
Andy Murray (Private Eye) present an eloquent, irreverent, 100%
improvised take on the works of our beloved author. Performed in period costume with live
accompaniment, Austentatious is an immersive and hilarious treat for fans of
Austen and improvised comedy alike. Austentatious perform regularly at
The Wheatsheaf, Rathbone Place (London) but have
recently performed at the Edinburgh Fringe 2012.
I contacted Cariad Lloyd who kindly accepted to coordinate an interview with the rest of the cast via e-mail. This is the result of our exchange. It's time to meet the brilliant Austentatious and
enjoy our chit chat about Jane Austen and their own work.
