BEDLAM's SENSE & SENSIBILITY Returns to the Gym at Judson This Month

BEDLAM has announced the sold-out, award-winning and critically acclaimed production of SENSE & SENSIBILITY will continue its run at THE GYM AT JUDSON (243 Thompson Street) from Friday, June 17, 2016, through Sunday, October 2, 2016. Following a 2 month hiatus, The Dashwood Sisters are back from their spring holiday and regular performances will resume.

SENSE & SENSIBILITY is directed by Eric Tucker and adapted for the stage by Kate Hamill, has scenic design by John McDermott, lighting design by Les Dickert, costume design by Angela Huff and choreography by Alexandra Beller.

SENSE & SENSIBILITY won the 2016 Off-Broadway Alliance Award for "Best Unique Theater Experience," and the cast features Laura Baranik, Jessica Frey, Jack Haley, Kate Hamill, Carman Lacivita, Nicole Lewis, Andrus Nichols, Jason O'Connell, Flor De Liz Perez, Violeta Picayo, Benjamin Russell, John Russell, Samantha Steinmetz and Stephan Wolfert.

You've never seen Austen like this! 2016 OBIE Award-winning 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 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 9 through July 10, 2016. The McCarter Theater Center in Princeton, NJ has announced they will be presenting BEDLAM Theater's HAMLET and SAINT JOAN in repertory from January 13, 2017 through February 12, 2017.

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.
