Hovey
Players Presents:
Sense
and
Sensibility
Adapted by Pamela Whalan, from the novel by Jane Austen
Directed by Michelle M. Aguillon
When Mr Dashwood died his considerable estate passed into the hands of John, the son of his first marriage. His second wife and her three daughters had to rely on the good nature and honour of John Dashwood if they were to have more than a modest competence upon which to live. Unfortunately, John Dashwood loved his money much more than he loved his half-sisters.
"Sense and Sensibility" tells the story of the two eldest daughters of Mrs. Dashwood - brought up to be young ladies in comfortable circumstances but now reduced to poverty. Elinor Dashwood is the "sensible" sister who puts others before herself. Marianne Dashwood is full of "sensibility" allowing herself to be ruled by her feelings and caring little for the feelings of others. Lose your heart and come to your senses as you follow the trials and tribulations of these two young ladies. Jane Austen's story of greed and love is as fresh today as it was when first published in 1811.
