This timeless classic from Jane Austen follows two sisters as they fall in love and experience heartbreak as they try to strike a balance between sense and sensibility.

Join Chapterhouse Theatre Company this summer as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood make their first forays into the exciting world of Regency society.

Adapted for the stage by Laura Turner, Sense and Sensibility is a classic from master of satire Jane Austen. Our story follows two sisters of the recently destitute Dashwood family; Elinor, possessed of good common sense, and Marianne, characterised by her emotional sensibilities. Marianne must overcome adversity as her pursuit of the dashing John Willoughby is complicated by the interests of Colonel Brandon. Meanwhile, Elinor finds herself in a romantic entanglement with clergyman Edward Ferrars. Austen’s trademark razor wit, aided by Turner’s deft adaptation, is on full display in this fresh take on the quintessential Regency romance.
