Austen the Musical

by Austen the Musical

music-and-opera, theatre

After a sell-out Edinburgh run, the full version of award-winning playwright, Rob Winlow's 'Austen' is going on a UK Tour for the first time

about the production

"Vivid imagination was your creative art. Were you truly in love? Or just romantic heart?" Austen the Musical explores Jane’s struggle to have her work published in a male dominated environment, her romances and her vow to reject a woman’s lifestyle in Georgian England. The stunning story of Jane Austen’s transition from a country parson’s daughter to one of the most read writers in English Literature. Austen The Musical is full of stunning songs with moments of joy, despair and heart-wrenching sadness.

about the artist

The fresh, new, musical production has played extended runs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Jane Austen Festival, York New Musical Festival, and a small tour - all to sell out crowds. It now heads out nationwide on its 2017/18 UK Tour from October 2017.
