Edinburgh Festival Review – Jane Austen’s Guide to Pornography
Does one of Britain’s most revered authors need more spice in her literature?
Australian-flavoured prodution company Out Cast Theatre returns to the Edinburgh Fringe this year with another saucy number. The plot: a modern day writer faces writers block in attempting to write stories with less smut and more romance. His muse? Jane Austen, who he hopes to inject with some sexually passionate writing while getting her help for some of his on romantic writing. The two writer’s stories slowly intertwine to weave a tale of truly naughty porportions. While it’s a humourous ideal, the script wandered a bit in try to tell its tale. However, there’s plenty of crass remarks, nudity, and just general hility to make it well worth your while.
3 stars for blatantly hilarious view on classic vs modern literature. Playing at Zoo southside, 17:00. £8.50 – . Sexually explicit content throughout.
