Based on Jane Austen’s 1811 novel, Sense and Sensibility tells the story of the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne, as well as older half-brother, John, and younger sister, Margaret, as they are forced to move following the death of their father from their family estate to a more modest home. There, Elinor and Marianne experience their first affairs of the heart. Marianne’s affair represents the “sensibility” of the title, while the supposedly more rational Elinor is ruled by sense.

Amanda Sum, fresh from last year’s East Van Panto The Little Mermaid, plays Marianne. Abraham Asto, Sarah Cantuba, Jay Clift, Janet Gigliotti, Nora McLellan, Andrew McNee, Kamyar Pazandeh and Emma Slipp play multiple roles, including the Gossips, a Hamill addition.
