Austin Shakespeare’s: Sense and Sensibility at Rollins Theatre at the Long Center

The story of two sisters – the sensible Elinor Dashwood and the impulsive Marianne Dashwood – Sense and Sensibility showcases Jane Austen’s clever, comedic storytelling. The two sisters meet the wildly romantic John Willoughby, the reserved Mr. Edward Ferrars and the more mature Colonel Brandon. A diverse cast of 17 actors create the elegant world, which will feature Regency costumes and charming dances.

“The audience will journey with the Dashwood family from mansion to country cottage and navigate between the attraction of flirtation and the draw of true love,” said Austin Shakespeare Artistic Director Ann Ciccolella. “Our imaginative set design will make the actors and the story the focus.”
