Following the delicate global sold out successes of Promise and Promiscuity, festival favourite Penny Ashton swaps Austen for Dickens and brings orphaned hero Olive and a squalid gaggle of hilarious Victorians to crusty life. A rollicking romantic musical journey through fifteen gin-soaked characters told with song, dance and questionable personal hygiene. It’s Olive! meets Blackadder with a saucy feminine twist.
