“We have neither of us anything to tell; you because you do not communicate and I because I conceal nothing.”
Elinor and Marianne Dashwood are chalk and cheese, night and day, calm and wild. While Elinor takes great pains to keep her feelings to herself and live within the confines of regency society, Marianne does not.
When their father dies, and their half brother inherits everything, our heroines are forced to leave the home they love and move across the country. There, they must rely on the kindness of their colourful country relatives as they fall madly in love, suffer heartbreak and find themselves at the centre of a good deal of gossip.
In this brand-new adaptation, five actors bring Austen’s comedy of manners to life with energy, imagination and a palpable sense of fun.
Come as you are, or dress in your best Regency finery and join the show at Barton Park for tea, dancing and romance aplenty!
