Description
Penny Ashton is back and this time is skewering the Bard Himself. The brain behind Promise & Promiscuity, Olive Copperbottom and Austen Found is heading out on her 6th Arts on Tour odyssey with her new critically acclaimed solo musical.
Sicily’s beloved King Enzo is dead. Now Princess Rosa, a stroppy spinster, must navigate the tempestuous waters of belching Step-Fathers, lusty suitors, popping cod pieces and menopausal witches, to face her destiny. Award Winning Comedian Penny Ashton (writer and director of Circa’s smash hit Sense and Sensibility, Promise and Promiscuity, Olive Copperbottom) presents her latest literary solo musical with this Shakespearean frolic. She’ll spark 13 characters into life in an Elizabethan tale of magic, meddling and puffed bull’s puzzles.
Reviews

“Phenomenal energy, vivacity, versatility, inventiveness and humour.”
