Sense and Sensibility

A delightful adaptation of a dearly-loved classic. Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility By Jane Austen Adapted by Jessica Swale Directed by Jessica Bedford The future is uncertain for sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood as they are left penniless and without prospects in a culture where status and matchmaking are nothing short of essential. As their family is forced to begin a new life in Devonshire, they encounter promising new acquaintances who will turn out to be much more than they initially seem. Through hopes and heartbreak, the Dashwood sisters discover the cruelties and unpredictability that come with the search for true love, whether measured or impulsive.
