Event Details
The award-winning creators of Austen’s Women, A Christmas Carol, I, Elizabeth, Female Gothic, Christmas Gothic, and A Room of One’s Own are back with a brand new solo comedy show.
Jane Austen’s magnificently crafted tale of manipulation and manners. Meet devil-may-care black widow, Lady Susan, (“the most accomplished coquette in England”), hunting down not one, but two, fortunes; oppressed, rebellious daughter Frederica; long-suffering sister-in-law Catherine; family matriarch Mrs De Courcy; and insouciant best friend, Alicia.
Return to the Regency (or rather, Georgian) in this wickedly funny tale of society and the women trapped within it; their struggles, their desires, their temptations and manipulations – and at the vanguard, Lady Susan: charming, scheming, witty, and powerful; taking on society and making it her own. But has she met her match?
Based on Jane Austen’s first full-length work from 1794, the piece is performed by Rebecca Vaughan and directed by Andrew Margerison. This is Austen as you’ve never seen her before!
Created in collaboration with The Old Town Hall, Hemel Hempstead.
12+.
★★★★★ ‘A towering performance‘ (The Scotsman)
★★★★★ ‘A luscious sweeping tale’ (The i)
★★★★★ ‘Quite simply: astounding’ (Broadway Baby)
★★★★★ ’Outstanding…gripping… Vaughan is never less than magnetic’ (Three Weeks)
★★★★★ ‘If you haven’t seen Dyad Productions’ work before, you simply must’ (British Theatre Guide)
‘Some of the most electrifying character work available, up to and including Berkoff’ (Fringe Review)

Think you could solve a spooky mystery? Read on!
Something’s going bump in the night! Agents Dali and Kahlo of top-secret global creative agency Company of International Artists, receive a code red call. This means only one thing: ART IN PERIL!
They’re going to need the sharpest agents to crack this case. Will you join the team? Travel with the agents to Villa Diodati on the banks of Lake Geneva, where you’ll work against the clock – and sometimes even against logic itself – to chase leads, decipher clues and interview suspects.
What’s your theory, agents? Can all the strange goings-on be explained logically or is it, just maybe, a little bit supernatural?
Featuring a broad streak of quirky comedy, family-friendly spoof horror and inspired by the literary history of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, THE MIDNIGHT MISSION! is a highly interactive playable show for families. This show is best suited to those aged 7+.
Tickets: Adults £12. Under 18s/SAC Members & Friends £10.
