‘SENSE and SENSIBILITY’ – Jane Austen Re-Wired!
An adaptation of the Jane Austen Classic by Kate Hamill
A playful new adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood Sisters – sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne – after their father’s death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable.
Set in ‘gossipy’ late 18th Century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humour, emotion and bold theatricality.
Sense and Sensibility’ examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures.
When reputation is EVERYTHING, how do you follow your heart?
