SUMMARY:We Happy Few presents "Sanditon"
DESCRIPTION:SANDITON\nAPRIL 24-26\nat the CAPITOL HILL ARTS WORKSHOP\nWritten by Jane Austen.\nAdapted for the stage by Kerry McGee & Rachel Dixon.\nFinished by you.\n\nChoose-your-own-adventure meets long-form improv meets Regency era England. \nJane Austen started writing Sanditon\, but never got a chance to finish it. Her fragment of a novel ends just after all of the major characters have been introduced. So what happens to them all? We’d like to find out\, and we’d like your help!\n​\nJoin us for a limited-run workshop performance where the story changes every evening. We’ll take suggestions from the audience that will propel our characters forward through classic Austen tropes to the romances and reckonings that you devise for them. Part scripted play and part improvised scenes\, we’ll examine all the possibilities that Jane Austen might (or might not) have dreamed up! \nClick Here for Tickets!!
