Jane Austen-related musical in Philadelphia this autumn
(Representin’ for Philly at last! w00t!)
We heard from Kate Galvin, the co-founder of From the Top Productions, a UK-based theatre group, whose musical “Austentatious” will be presented in September 2006 as part of the Philly Fringe Festival. She describes the show as:
…a very funny 90-minute piece about a community theater group putting on the worst adaptation of “Pride & Prejudice” that you’ve ever seen.
Sounds like something right up our alley. More news about this as we receive it.
Edited to fix the link and the name of the theatre company, because the Editrix is an idiot.

Could someone please alert Over the Top Productions that Austen is not spelled like Austin, Texas? Dorothy, the smelling salts!

Worst adaptations are second only to best adaptations IMHO.

The link in this posting is incorrect. The company who created “Austentatious” is From the Top Productions and you can find information about the show at http://www.fromthetoponline.com Where AUSTEN is always spelled correctly
