Sense & Sensibility

Sense & Sensibility
By Kate Hamill

Gossip is currency and reputation is everything in this bold, playful, and wildly theatrical adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel. When the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne—suddenly find themselves penniless and uprooted after their father’s death, they must navigate a world where love, heartbreak, and social expectations collide.

Playwright Kate Hamill brings fresh life to Austen’s classic with a fast-paced, witty, and emotionally rich retelling that pulses with modern energy while staying true to the heart of the original. With a chorus of gossips, quicksilver character changes, and sweeping romantic twists, Sense & Sensibility is a heartfelt comedy about resilience, sisterhood, and the power of staying true to yourself.
