User Review: 20Jun13: I have been to see the show twice now, and planning on attending a third as I find this performance of Sense and Sensibility truly outstanding in all aspects. As you walk in to the stage area, you notice the simplicity of the set and it certainly did make me judge the play before it had started, but much like what was done in the west-end’s ‘The Woman in Black’ the script and the actors entice you into the fascinating world of Jane Austen. By this point you hardly notice that it is a stage production as you personally feel connected with the play. The actors use the fourth wall technique to its full capability as they perform to almost a 360˚ audience, director Ben Hughes-Games has done a masterful job of balancing out the stage. Whenever you may have an actor’s back to you, you need not worry as there is so much more to see on the rest of the stage. I particularly found the second to last scene fascinating in this regard as Colonel Brandon (Thomas Hatherley) finally proposes to the beautiful Marianne Da User Reviews
