Bedlam’s Sense & Sensibility first played the Sheen Center Off-Broadway in 2014. The show returned Off-Broadway in 2016 and played an extended, critically acclaimed engagement at Gym at Judson.

Returning from last year's hit Off-Broadway run will be Jessica Frey as Marianne, Violeta Picayo as Margaret, and Benjamin Russell as John Willoughby/John Dashwood. Returning from the award-winning Folger Theater run in D.C. will be Lisa Birnbaum as Mrs. Dashwood/Anne Steel, Maggie Adams McDowell as Elinor, James Patrick Nelson as Colonel Brandon, and Jamie Smithson as Edward/Robert Ferrars. Nigel Gore, from the Sheen Center run, will once again play Mrs. Jennings.

New to the show will be Ryan Quinn (Bedlam’s Dead Dog Park, 59E59) as John Middleton and Katie Hartke (Imogen in Cymbeline, Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival) as Fanny/Lucy Steel.

Sense & Sensibility is set to play through January 14, 2018, at the Loeb Drama Center, 64 Brattle Street in Cambridge.
