Sense and Sensibility

By Kate Hamill

Based on the book by Jane Austin

Directed by Dana Hart Wright

Roles 

(all roles are available; no roles have been pre-cast)

With the exception of the actors playing Elinor and Marianne, all actors will play multiple roles.  This is an ensemble piece and the director is looking for strong, bold yet grounded choices where each character is unique.  Actors may also be asked to play roles of different age ranges and types.

MARIANNE DASHWOOD – The middle Dashwood sister; sensitive
MARGARET DASHWOOD – The youngest Dashwood sister; 10-13 years old
MRS. DASHWOOD – Mother to the Dashwood sisters
JOHN DASHWOOD – Half-brother to the Dashwood sisters (from their father’s side; no blood relation to Mrs. Dashwood)
EDWARD FERRARS – A gentleman; a bachelor
FANNY (FERRARS) DASHWOOD – Wife to John Dashwood and sister to Edward; nasty
COLONEL BRANDON – An older bachelor; over 45 years old
JOHN WILLOUGHBY – An unusually handsome young man
SIR JOHN MIDDLETON – A country gentleman; distant relation to Mrs. Dashwood
MRS. JENNINGS – A good-natured, boisterous woman; mother-in-law to Sir John and a terror to the countryside
LADY MIDDLETON – An over-bred lady
LUCY STEELE – A young girl from no fortune
ANNE STEELE – Lucy’s sister; indiscreet
ROBERT FERRARS – A callow young man; Edward Ferrars’ younger brother
