Sense and Sensibility at Guthrie Theater

adapt: Kate Hamill from Jane Austen; dir: Sarah Rasmussen.

A fresh adaptation of Austen’s treasured novel

Full of humor and emotional depth, a fresh adaptation of Austen’s treasured novel opens the season in a bright, bold and theatrical way. Set in late 18th-century England, Sense and Sensibility centers on sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, whose lives are turned upside down when their father passes away suddenly, leaving them penniless and with reputations at stake. Together the women must learn to mix sense with sensibility to find happiness in a society where love is ruled by money.
