Bedlam's SENSE & SENSIBILITY Set for Encore Run at The Gym at Judson

BEDLAM and BURNT UMBER PRODUCTIONS are pleased to announce the sold-out, critically acclaimed production of SENSE & SENSIBILITY which is currently playing through Sunday, April 17, 2016 at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street), will return to The Gym at Judson for an encore run from Friday, June 17, 2016, through Sunday, October 2, 2016.

Directed by Eric Tucker SENSE & SENSIBILITY has scenic design by John McDermott, lighting design by Les Dickert, costume design by Angela Huff and choreography by Alexandra Beller.

"Jane Austen's SENSE & SENSIBILITY is Downton Abbey on roller skates. A delightfully radical, hilarious, lovable and altogether excellent adaptation for the stage," raved Toby Zinman in The Philadelphia Inquirer, "A splendid evening in the theater. Brilliant. Go! Go! Go!"

The Wall Street Journal's Terry Teachout raved, "BEDLAM is a band of gifted unknowns who can make theatrical magic in an empty room. That's what BEDLAM is doing with SENSE & SENSIBILITY. No theater troupe in America is doing more creative classical revivals."

You've never seen Austen like this! BEDLAM's rollicking adaptation follows the adventures (and misadventures) of the Dashwood sisters - sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne - after their sudden loss of fortune. Bursting with humor, emotion, and bold theatricality, SENSE & SENSIBILITY asks: when reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?

BEDLAM's past critically acclaimed productions are enjoying runs across the country. Houston's Stark Naked Theatre will present the award winning BEDLAM production of SAINT JOAN, directed by Eric Tucker from June 3 through June 18, 2016. BEDLAM returns to Boston's Central Square Theater following last season's SAINT JOAN, with director Eric Tucker's TWELFTH NIGHT and What You Will, one play, two completely different ways, with the same five actors from the original New York production, running from June 10 through July 10, 2016.

Committed to the immediacy of the relationship between the actor and the audience BEDLAM creates theatre in a flexible, raw space and is interested in contemporary reappraisals of the classics, new writing and small-scale musical theatre. The theatre we make always includes the audience. Storytelling is paramount to us. We believe that innovative use of space can collapse aesthetic distance and bring the audience into direct contact with the dangers and delicacies of life.
