It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen’s plot lines are … universal! A pastiche of Austen’s novels, Lewis Treston’s new comedy swaps society ladies in 18th-century England for gay men in contemporary Sydney. The story focuses on Elliot, a young man whose financially-strapped mother sends him to live with his rich uncle in Sydney. Elliot’s mission? Find a rich husband. Expect hijinks and high camp. Dean Bryant directs. —Jensen Davis
