Nobody warns you about how love can quietly change everything♥️🥰

It doesn’t always arrive dramatically. 🫶🏼
✨Sometimes it’s been standing right in front of you the whole time, patient and steady, waiting for you to stop looking in the wrong direction….🥲

⛈️ Sometimes it arrives like a thunderstorm and sweeps you completely off your feet…💃🏻

Fall in love all over again alongside the Dashwood sisters 👯‍♀️ 💕

✨SENSE & SENSIBILITY 🫶🏼
There is nobody on earth who can ruin your day like your sister, but there is nobody on earth you’d rather have. 🫂

She knows exactly which buttons to push, and will absolutely bring up your worst moments at dinner. She thinks she knows better than you. She is *occasionally* right and it is infuriating…! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

And yet when everything falls apart she is the only person in the room you actually trust. 💕

Kate Hamill’s wildly funny, fast-paced moving stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s most beloved novel is really about one thing underneath all the chaos, comedy, and the catastrophic suitors.

It’s about having someone in your corner.✨ Even when she drives you completely insane! 😱🤬

📲Call your sister. Then come see the show!

WEEKEND TWO!

Jane Austen walked so Kate Hamill could RUN. 🎭💨

Elinor Dashwood is keeping it together. Marianne Dashwood is absolutely not. And everyone around them: the gossips, the snobs, the clueless suitors, the worst houseguests in English history, are doing their level best to make it all so much worse!

Kate Hamill’s Sense & Sensibility is Austen with the gloves 🥊 off. It’s chaotic, it’s physical, it’s laugh-out-loud funny, and one ensemble of 10 performers plays the entire ridiculous circus of 28 characters! 😳
