Sense and Sendability – Gasworks

Uncategorized

In this original musical to be staged at the Gasworks in Melbourne, Jane Austen’sSense & Sensibility is brought to life with a fresh perspective. Director Sharmini Kumar has breathed new life into this classic piece of literature examining this period drama with a post-colonial and queer lens and bringing nuance and depth to characters through her original book and music which allow audiences to share in their innermost thoughts. This reimagined story still has pivotal moments from the original novel but has some added narrative and original music aimed to make you think. It explores themes such as the impacts of British colonialism and the experiences of existing as an outsider. The show opens a pandora’s box of moral dilemmas about society, so if you come for the bonnets, you might get more than you bargained for!

The show will appeal to lovers of musicals, Jane Austen and Bridgerton! Period drama is definitely on trend right now so we are hoping for a great response!
