Books and Beyond: Austen Found

This week our featured guest is Penny Ashton, comedienne, improviser, social commentator, proud Jane-ite and the force behind and in front of the comic tour-de-force 'Austen Found: The Undiscovered Musicals of Jane Austen'.

She chats with librarian Hecuba Hustlebottom (erstwhile Books and Beyond presenter Karen) about the many reasons to love Jane Austen and gives us a taste of her upcoming show, a mash-up of laughs and literature, jokes and jabs.
