A brand new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility by the Thick as Thieves Theatre Company, plays at the Arches Lane Theatre in Battersea this September.
Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are chalk and cheese, night and day, calm and wild. While Elinor takes great pains to keep her feelings to herself and live within the confines of regency society, Marianne. . .does not.
When their father dies and their half-brother inherits everything, our heroines are forced to leave the home they love and move across the country. There they must rely on the kindness of their colourful country relatives as they fall madly in love, suffer heartbreak and find themselves at the centre of plenty of gossip…
In this brand-new adaptation, five actors bring Austen’s comedy of manners to life with energy, imagination and a palpable sense of fun.
