A gaudy and bawdy reimagining of the classic Austen-era love story. Eschewing the well-trodden country estates and flowing dresses of the regency era, Lewis Treston’s scintillating send-up serves us sequins, sparkling wine, and shenanigans!
When Brisbane mother Bernice loses her home to a very unscrupulous suitor of the online variety, she sends her favourite (and only) son Elliott to the Emerald City, to find and marry the richest man he can find. Once in Sydney, he meets an outrageous cast of characters, all determined to help him on this quest. This won’t be easy though: first, Elliott must dodge the affections of the horsy Colin, find a way to get over his long-held (and very secret) feelings for his bestie Warren, and work out what exactly is the deal with the aloof, wealthy, and ridiculously hot William! Not to mention managing his stowaway sister Paige with her volatile international love affairs, and a mother who will simply not let up. But once embarked on this journey, Elliott discovers that finding and keeping love is even more complicated than it seems… and all he wanted was a fridge that makes ice.
Hilarious hijinks and class satire ensue, in this fabulous tale of modern love and queerness.
