SENSE AND SENSIBILTY is a delight!  The well-directed cast, supported by the purposeful technical aspects of the production, not only makes this a wonderful theatrical purpose, but creates a staging that has to rank with the best shows Great Lakes Theatre has created.  This is one show that actually deserves the curtain call that the show is nightly getting.

There is no need to mince words. If you are not planning a trip to the Hanna Theatre to see the Great Lakes Theater production of “Sense and Sensibility,” change your plans. And to those “Janeites,” who may fear that this Kate Hamill adaptation may be a tad too “tituppy” (lively), rest assured, gentle readers, this incredibly innovative take on classic Austen is a delicious romp that lifts this play to new heights without marring its original beauty or intent.

Mark Horning

This is truly a show for everyone from youngsters to oldsters alike. The fast paced action, comedic touches and story of love, loss and redemption makes for an excellent evening of theater. No matter how you feel about Jane Austin, you will fall in love with this production. It simply makes sense.

More than anything, this Sense and Sensibility throbs with life and joy, even with all the heartaches. That makes it a fine and invigorating match for the world we occupy today.

Laura Kennelly

Great Lakes Theater offers a delightfully funny, sassy Tik-Tok update of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.

Directors Sara Bruner and Jaclyn Miller take playwright Kate Hamill’s 2014 adaptation of Austen’s first published novel and relish its satiric bones. This Great Lakes production makes Austen’s late 18th-century tale completely relatable to today’s audience, one used to quick takes and comic fakes.
