SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

By Kate Hamill

SENSE AND SENSIBILITY

April 23 - May 11, 2025

By Kate Hamill
Based on the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Jason O’Connell
Choreographed by Steph Paul

The world of the Dashwood sisters, Jane Austen’s destitute but determined heroines, comes playfully to life in Kate Hamill’s warm and inventive adaptation. Romance, heartbreak, twists of fate and never-ending gossip follow Elinor and Marianne, the eldest Dashwood daughters, as they navigate 18th century English society in search of stability after the death of their father. Filled with memorable characters, delicious wit, and timeless comedy, this whirlwind Sense and Sensibility is a joyous love letter to one of literature's most treasured stories.

“A bouncy, jaunty take on Austen… irresistible theater.”
-The New York Times
