Marianne Dashwood, wild and impulsive, falls dangerously in love with the charming but roguish John Willoughby, ignoring her sister Elinor’s warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo.
Whilst Marianne wears her heart on her sleeve, Elinor suffers her own private heartbreak but conceals her true feelings, even from those closest to her.
Will the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love?
One of English literature’s most beloved classics is given a contemporary makeover in a fresh and funny adaptation by award winning Scottish playwright Frances Poet.

Press Reviews For Sense And Sensibility
“A beautiful, light-touch production.”
– The Scotsman (4 Stars)
“Contemporary mores are there too in Pippa Murphy’s sound design and
Adam Morris’ musical arrangements, which punctuate each scene with
lounge bar piano versions of latter day pop songs…These musical interludes fit in perfectly with Nick Trueman’s pillar lined set,”
– The Herald (4 Stars)
“[Writer, Frances] Poet retains as much of Austen’s language as is possible within the limitations of a stage production and Nichols brings his usual vision to directing it.”
– The Herts Advertiser
” …with Frances Poet’s outstanding adaptation, the talented cast and technical crew, this production of ‘Sense and Sensibility’ is a must-see show.”
– The St Albans Times
” A fun and charming evening with enough sense (and sensibility) to ground it.”
– Salterton Arts Review (4 Stars)
