Austentatious, the comedy group who perform long-form improvised shows loosely based on the work of Jane Austen, are set to tour the country.
The group confirm: "Austentatious are saddling the horses for a Grand Tour of the United Kingdom!"
Austentatious is comprised of some of the country's most experienced improv performers; Amy Cooke-Hodgson, Andrew Hunter Murray, Cariad Lloyd, Charlotte Gittins, Daniel Nils Roberts, Graham Dickson, Joseph Morpurgo and Rachel Parris.
Each unique show they perform is based on nothing more than a title suggested by the audience, with no two shows the same. Previous 'lost' masterpieces have included Sixth Sense & Sensibility, Double 0 Darcy and Mansfield Shark.
The new tour follows six sellout runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and a successful monthly residency in London's Leicester Square.
The tour organisers say: "Now their show will be appearing at two dozen theatres across the country to entertain and astonish audiences in equal measure.
"Performed in period costume with live musical accompaniment, this is a Regency treat guaranteed to delight Austen novices and die-hard fans alike."
The tour, which will run from October to November 2017, will see the group visiting cities including Leeds, Bath, Swindon, Bristol and Norwich. Tickets for many of the dates are on sale now via Ticketmaster
Austentatious are also set to appear on Radio 4 this June for a one-off show recorded for the radio to mark the bicentenary of Austen's death.
