  3. Sense and Sensibility


In this witty comedy of manners, two sisters who are alike only in their pursuit of happiness find themselves financially destitute and socially vulnerable after their father’s sudden death. Will Elinor’s common sense or Marianne’s impulsive passion offer up the key to living “happily ever after”? Expect the unexpected as this spirited tale of flirtation and folly bounds onto the OCTA stage in this boisterous adaptation by Jon Jory of one of Jane Austen’s beloved stories.

“[Has] a freshness, speed, and … contemporary energy that is downright irresistible.” — Chicago Sun-Times

“…a quick-moving and sprightly comedy.” — Time Out Chicago
