From the mad geniuses who brought you Austen inspired comedy sensation ‘Sense & Spontaneity’ and the time-travelling literary detective thriller ‘Jane Austen: Private Eye’ and the producer of multi award-winning Fringe World hit ‘Vehicle’ comes the ultimate mash-up of mad cap action and feel-good regency romance that you never knew you needed in life.
You know the story. It’s Christmas eve and all retired naval captain John Maclane really wants is to win back the love of his estranged fiancé. Instead, he finds himself caught up in a fight to take back Nakatomi Manor from a nefarious band of Bavarian Barbarians lead by the villainous Herr Gruber… On second thoughts, maybe you don’t quite know this version of the story.
A love letter to eighties action films, nineties BBC adaptations, bonnets, and bombastic explosions. It’s Die Hard meets Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Bridgerton with a dash of ballsy bravado. It’s Napoleonic era heavy artillery. It’s exploding roof tops, and a surprisingly large
number of pigeons. It’s a heart pounding, bodice ripping, side splitting roller coaster, and let’snot forget most importantly… it’s a Christmas show.
