Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival (PSF) presents Olivier Award-winning writer Jessica Swale’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s” Sense and Sensibility.”
The production previews July 20 and 21, opens Saturday, July 22 and runs through Aug. 5 in repertory with William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” on the Main Stage at the Labuda Center for the Performing Arts at DeSales University in Center Valley.
The future is uncertain for sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood as they are left penniless and without prospects in a culture where status and matchmaking are nothing short of essential. As their family is forced to begin a new life in Devonshire, the Dashwood sisters discover the cruelties and unpredictability that come with the search for true love. “Jane Austen’s razor-sharp wit shines through in this fresh and funny adaptation.”
Audiences can enhance the experience before every performance with live music and a variety of dining options “On the Green.” Other special offerings are an opening night post-show champagne toast with the PSF Company July 22; a specialty dinner themed to the play with behind-the-scenes insights at 5 p.m. July 29; a talk-back with the actors after the show July 27; and an Audio Described and Open Captioned performance at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 2.
Tickets can be purchased online, by calling 610-282-WILL (9455) or by visiting the PSF box office at the Labuda Center for the Performing Arts.
