Step into the world of Jane Austen like never before in this bold, witty, and heartfelt new musical adaptation of Sense and Sensibility! Featuring a stunning original score and a playful, contemporary voice, this production brings Austen’s beloved story to life for a new generation.

Follow the Dashwood sisters – practical Elinor and passionate Marianne – as they navigate the teenage melodrama of young love, heartbreak, and society’s expectations. Forced to leave their home and start anew in Devon after their world is turned upside down, their journey through romance and resilience is infused with song and dance, blending classical musical theatre influences with fresh energy.

Celebrating 250 years since Austen’s birth, this exciting adaptation by Grace O’Keefe and Tom Arnold reimagines the battle of head versus heart through today’s young performers. Whether you’re a lifelong Austen fan or discovering the story for the first time, this is Sense and Sensibility as never before – musical, relatable, funny, emotional, and utterly unmissable.
