Sense and Sensibility, screen play adapted from Jane Austen’s novel
by Emma Thompson

Sense and Sensibility is a 1995 period drama film directed by Ang Lee and based on Jane
Austen’s 1811 novel of the same name. Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay and starred
as Elinor Dashwood. The story follows the Dashwood sisters, members of a wealthy English
family of landed gentry, as they must deal with circumstances of sudden destitution. They
are forced to seek financial security through marriage. Others in the original cast include
Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman, so this is your big chance to take part in your
very own 1990s Chick Flick, with the added class of Jane Austen’s and Emma Thompson’s
writing.

A Message from the organiser Chris Gill

We have now established a tradition of reading a play once a month at the Marine Theatre, which is kindly providing the venue free to support community drama. We have a small group of regular attenders and we are always pleased to welcome new people, whether they want to read or just listen. The selection for April to June is varied and exciting as usual and driven by the suggestions of our regular attendees. If you want to go on our circulation list or have any questions about the meetings, please contact Chris Gill through the Marine Theatre.

Please remember to bring with you a paper or screen copy of the script if you wish to read. We are not able to provide copies.

This is a free but ticketed event.
