Sense and Sensibility

When the Dashwood sisters lose their fortune and home due to inheritance laws that favor male heirs, sensible Elinor and romantic Marianne must navigate a new life of reduced circumstances—and matters of the heart. Elinor quietly bears her heartbreak over Edward Ferrars, while Marianne passionately pursues the dashing but unreliable Willoughby. As secrets unravel and true characters reveal themselves, the sisters discover that finding love requires both sense and sensibility.

Roger Parsley and Andy Graham have streamlined Austen’s beloved novel into a fast-moving adaptation that retains all the delicate irony, spirit, and romance of the original. Their version brings these universal themes to vivid life, proving that questions about authenticity, financial security, and the courage to be vulnerable in love are as relevant in the 21st century as they were 200 years ago.

Join us for an enchanting summer evening amid the hazelnut trees as we celebrate the enduring power of Austen’s insight into the human heart.
