A visit from the Prince Regent approaches and society waits in eager anticipation; will you be able to master the decorum of Regency Britain?

Luckily the Association of Higher Etiquette and Manners is on hand to educate in the etiquette of the day.

As sibling squabbles and passion-fuelled fall-outs abound, this inventive production combines dance, music and song to create an unforgettable interactive interpretation of the much-loved classic.

A combination of Austen’s delicate yet intense observational style with the wit and affection of Heartbreak’s writer-in-residence David Kerby Kendall ensures this hilarious adaptation will resonate with anyone who has ever been in any relationship.
