What I liked

Performances! Songs! writing!

What I didn't like

um. nothing!

My overall impression

Holy S***! Not what I was expecting. AT ALL!
And that’s a very good thing. I’m a huge Shelley fan and was so pumped to see this production. What I didn’t expect was a brilliant, laugh-out-loud, fall out of your seat musical about Austen and Shelley going at it over their works!
The choice of songs in this musical really make it work. And to say the performances weren’t killer would be an understatement! I loved how they fashioned this story and used Austen as the storyteller. It was perfect!
This is easily one of my Top 5 of this year’s Fringe and I think it’s easily one of the best musicals we’ve seen here. Well done!
