SOLD OUT The Pantaloons present Sense and Sensibility at Crook Hall Gardens

An inventive outdoor performance of the classic Jane Austen novel.

  • Booking essential

Elinor Dashwood has a lot of good Sense. Her sister Marianne Dashwood has an excess of Sensibility. Together they make a snappy title for Jane Austen’s classic novel of scandals, scoundrels and severely sprained ankles.

This funny, fast-paced and faithful new adaptation from the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company features live music, audience interaction, romance and heartbreak.

Enjoy drinks and snacks from The Garden Gate Café or bring a picnic. Please bring something to sit on, this performance is outdoors.
