Sense & Sensibility
Chepe Lockett
"Sense & Sensibility", a delightful romantic comedy by Kate Hamill, opens May 29 and runs through June 13 at Theatre Southwest. Kate Hamill's playful adaptation of Jane Austen’s beloved novel follows the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in gossipy late-18th-century England with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. "Sense & Sensibility" examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
