Abridged-erton
Presented by Make Haste Productions
Dearest Gentle Reader,
The time has come for you to immerse yourself in the most delightful and scandalous affair of the season—Abridged-erton, a long-form improvised comedy inspired by the grandeur and romance of the hit Netflix series, Bridgerton.
Indeed, the course of each evening will be shaped by the whims of the audience, as we take your most daring ideas and transform them into moments of improvised comedy magic. From the grandest of ballroom dances to the most audacious of scandals, expect a whirlwind of unexpected twists, flirtations, and uproarious humour.
Fresh from a triumphant victory at Late Night Knife Fight, Abridged-erton hopes to be crowned the diamond of the Fringe season.
So, dear reader, I implore you—make haste! Secure your place at this one-of-a-kind spectacle before the opportunity is whisked away on the wings of gossip. The ton is already abuzz with anticipation, and it would be positively scandalous to be left out!
