✨ A witty love letter to romance readers, packed with scandal, swoons, and audience‑driven twists.

Synopsis

Step into the world of Historical Romance, where spirited heroines, rakish gentlemen, impossible choices, and happily‑ever‑afters await around every corner.

When devoted romance reader Holly settles in with her latest Regency novel, the line between reader, author, and story begins to blur. Inside the pages of The Shadows of Grace, the clever and independent Millicent Graceston finds herself tangled in a whirlwind of intrigue, scandal, secrets, and unexpected romance with the mysterious Thomas Shadowbrooke.

But this is no ordinary love story.

At key moments throughout the evening, the audience chooses what happens next. Will the hero make the rescue, or will the heroine save herself? Which path will true love take? How much spice belongs in the ending? Every performance unfolds a little differently as the audience helps guide the story toward its happily‑ever‑after.

Filled with sparkling banter, affectionate satire, audience participation, and all the beloved tropes romance readers adore, How to Write a Regency Romance is both a playful send‑up of the genre and a heartfelt celebration of the stories we can't stop reading.
