A stunning new musical, based on the novel by Jane Austen.
Book and Lyrics by Jeffrey Haddow, Music by Neal Hampton
Austen’s delicately observed and sophisticated cautionary tale of the disadvantages of both emotional excess and emotional restraint finishes (of course) with the happiest of happy endings. Surrey Opera gave the UK first performance back in May, 2023.
We are sure the whole family will enjoy this lively and colourful musical treatment of a year in the life of the Dashwood sisters, as they negotiate the difficulties of a sudden reduction in their circumstances and in their prospects of a marriage approved of by ‘Society’.
Set in the elegant world of Regency London and Devonshire, Marianne’s romantic but ultimately unwise attachment to the rakish Willoughby and Elinor’s selflessly denied love for Edward Ferrars both fall foul of small-minded disapproval and financial obligation before a dénouement of unexpected revelations.
