Went to a fabulous production of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility up at the Arvada Center Saturday night. Very clever, very funny, very whimsical, people playing multiple roles, roles being played by multiple people, furniture whizzing on and off and around to represent different sets, people wearing different hats representing different characters … just delightful, and all with the wonderful execution and acting that I expect from the Arvada Center, and all played in the black box theater, so you’re right there on top of the action.
Adapted by Kate Hamill (2014), directed by Lynne Collins.
More about the show (and tickets)
The show runs through May 6; if you’re in the Denver area, it is definitely well worth going to.
Sense and Sensibility
This isn’t your grandma’s Jane Austen! This rollicking, ingeniously-theatrical new adaptation follows the Dashwood sisters – sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne. When they lose their fortune, marriage is their only hope but can love, and marriage go together for women without money?
