“I wish as well as everybody else to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else it must be in my own way.”
This boldly playful adaptation of Jane Austen’s first novel follows the Dashwood sisters after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and socially vulnerable. In this comic debate between prudence and passion, Elinor and Marianne must publicly manage their love affairs amid a gossip-obsessed 19th-century England. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
