Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen,
adapted for the stage by Heather Leigh Brown
and Stephanie Sandberg
A turntable within a turntable and the ruins of their former life behind them
It's subtle, but this slight movement of the inner turntable allows for a shift in environment
In this production we used fabric as a production surface for the leaves of the trees
Eleanor and Marianne in their moment of grief as Willoughby has destroyed their lives
The cast plays a chorus of gossip in addition to their various characters
Light tells the story here, helping to highlight areas and moments
Eleanor and Edward, finally together
Before we can reach the climax of the love story, Marianne falls ill and the light and set reveal this
Using viewpoints technique, we developed very specific physical and vocal characters to tell the story
In this adaptation of Jane Austen's classic, we emphasized the world of gossip that pervades the world.
