    A highly entertaining romp through an Autenesque novel that took on board homophobic ducks and bisexual bonnets, all in the context of a Dungeons and Darcys bored game. The cast seemed to enjoy it as much as the audience did.

    We were treated to Sun, Sanditon and Suspicious Parents. It's honestly hard to believe it's all improv, and the fact that you see them trying not to laugh is amazing 😂 props to the gentleman playing twister as two characters!

    Had a great night watching these incredible performers - would definitely recommend! I might even go again as the show is different every night!
