Know your own happiness! Tickets are now on sale to see Bedlam’s production of of Jane Austen’s Sense & Sensibility off-Broadway. Adapted for the stage by Kate Hamill, the production will play a limited engagement from January 24 through March 6. Opening night is set for February 4 at the Gym at the Judson.
You’ve never seen Austen like this! This ingeniously-staged new adaptation follows the adventures (and misadventures) of the Dashwood sisters—sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne—after their sudden loss of fortune. Sense and Sensibility asks: when reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
Directed by Eric Tucker, the cast will include Hamill as Marianne Dashwood, Laura Baranik as Fanny Dashwood / Lucy Steele, Jessica Frey as Margaret Dashwood, Edmund Lewis as Colonel Brandon, Andrus Nichols as Elinor Dashwood, Jason O’Connell as Edward Ferrars / Robert Ferrars, John Russell as John Willoughby / John Dashwood, Samantha Steinmetz as Mrs. Dashwood / Anne Steele, Stephan Wolfert as Sir John Middleton and Gabra Zackman as Mrs. Jennings.
The production will feature scenic design by John McDermott, lighting design by Les Dickert, costume design by Angela Huff and choreography by Alexandra Beller.
