2026 -2027 TheatreWorks Presents :: Sense and Sensibility
Directed for IC TheatreWorks by Nancy Taylor Porter
Suddenly bereft by the death of their husband and father, Mrs. Dashwood and her three daughters are summarily kicked out of their home. In early 19th-century England, the daughters’ fortunes, especially regarding marriage, have now also significantly dwindled. The two eldest daughters think they have found love, only to be thwarted by social and parental pressures that value raising family status and protecting wealth above genuine romantic attachment. In this faithful adaptation of Jane Austen’s acclaimed novel, Elinor and Marianne navigate the tensions between nature and culture, honesty and deceit, duty and desire, as well as sense and sensibility.
