PART OF NEW ZEALAND FRINGE
4 - 6 march 2025
The C**tiest Queer Regency Farce!
It is common knowledge among the ton that those invited to summer at the country estate of HAUSDOWN will encounter a season of honeyed hospitality, diverting company, and queer delights.
Siblings and hosts, Lord Edwin Hausdown and Lady Louisa Hausdown, have this year invited several of their most beloved, amusing, (and eligible) companions to take the COUNTRY AIR! On the guestlist are their cousins, Lord Edward Lapthorn and Captain August Lapthorn, the Duke and Dukess of Cuntcliffe; Louisa’s childhood friend Lady Beatrice Swoonsworth, Baroness of Delusiomont, whose many engagements usually keep her from attending; and finally the untitled, but nonetheless well-connected, Harriet and Susan Girthshire. This party finds itself in a comedy of bemuddled hearts.
Will the country air be enough to untangle these lovelorn gentlefolk?
Titled HAUSDOWN in reference to the queer cultural adage, Inconceivable Productions presents their sell-out queer regency farce by Katie Hill & Ruby Carter. HAUSDOWN is a 60-minute joyful comedic reclamation of beloved Regency stories aimed to bring representation and entertainment for the emerging queer generation, and established fanbase. HAUSDOWN is a ridiculously opulent display of polite society, companionship, and unbridled lust.
"HAUSDOWN is a refreshing and joyfully queer take on this, revelling in the inherent queerness in the extravagance of the period."
”Goofy fun, certainly achieving Inconceivable Productions’ goal to share whimsical, queer joy." Stanford Reynolds, Regional News
Audience care: Contains coarse language, sexual themes and simulated violence, and flashing lights.
