About

Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen is an improvised show for four or five actors plus a pianoforte player – a story in the style of Jane Austen, told as a complete piece of musical theatre. I have been one of two musicians to play in this show, which has had multiple seasons since its beginnings in 2008.

All of the story, dialogue, songs and lyrics are improvised anew every time we do the show. Nonetheless, there are two pieces of music which have remained the same for every run which I have performed in. The first is the opening Theme (approx. 20 seconds), which heralds the entrance of the players onto the stage. The second is a Country Dance (approx. 80-90 seconds) – being that this is a show set in the Regency period, there will inevitably be a ball held in a country manor. There is a choreographed set-piece dance for this occasion.
