The Atlanta Shakespeare Company  and Belle Esprit will present Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, adapted and directed by Claire F. Martin, from Thursday, April 4th through Sunday, April 28th, with an opening night of Saturday, April 6th.

When the wealthy Mr. Dashwood dies, his introverted daughter Elinor finds herself alone at the helm of a dysfunctional family. To make matters worse, Elinor seems to be falling in love with the only man she can't have...while her headstrong sister Marianne succumbs to the charms of a local scoundrel. As the Dashwood sisters navigate romance, heartbreak, and loss, they find an unlikely ally in their fearless tween sister Margot.

Written and directed by Claire F. Martin (Troilus and Cressida), this vibrant new adaptation of Sense and Sensibility illuminates Austen's Regency world and the enduring bond of sisterhood. Belle Esprit is thrilled to bring this immersively-staged world premiere to Atlanta and the ASC.

There will be a post show Q&A on Sunday April 14, 2024.

The cast includes Cameryn Richardson as Elinor; Tyra Watkins as Marianne; Shakoria Davis as Margot; Kenneth Wigley as Edward, Lady Middleton, Mrs. Palmer; Kevin Roost as Robert, Sir John, Willoughby; Marlon Burnley as Johnny, Brandon, Messenger; Amanda Lindsey McDonald as Fanny, Mrs. Jennings, Lucy; and Sheri Glibert-Wilson as Mrs. Dashwood, Miss Gray, Anne, Palmer.
