SENSE & SENSIBILITY: REPUTATION OR ROMANCE?
December 12th - 14th, Friday - Sunday, times vary
Shakespeare & Co’s family-friendly Winter Show returns this year with Sense and Sensibility: a fast-paced, staged reading wherein the wit and romance of Jane Austen’s classic tale come to life. The story follows the fortunes, and misfortunes, of the Dashwood sisters — sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne — after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. Set in late 18th-century England, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. Sense and Sensibility examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart? $19 - $45.
Shakespeare & Co. 70 Kemble Street. Lenox MA. 413.637.3353.
