S&S and Persuasion on stage in Seattle
We are quite envious of our Gentle Readers (and staff members!) in the Seattle area, who have such riches at their disposal as TWO Jane Austen adaptations on stage this month.
Book-It Repertory’s production of Persuasion opens tonight at the Seattle Center House Theatre and runs through March 2.
Eight years after Anne Elliot’s painful rejection of the naval officer she was betrothed to, having been convinced of his “unworthiness” by her family, she once again struggles with her rekindled and unwavering devotion. Austen’s scenes of avarice and poverty, flirtations begun and abandoned, and her ability to be a ruthless narrator, all come to life in this insightful world-premiere adaptation.
Tickets are $15-32 ($40 for opening night with after-party) and available online.
The Attic Theatre presents Sense and Sensibility at the Meydenbauer Center from February 15-24.
Directed by Jane Reinhardt and Mark Lewis, Sense and Sensibility is a fantastic tale of flourishing romance between hearts both young and… well… not so young.
The witty humor will make you laugh…
The deep, and sorrowful twists in these intimate relationships will make you cry…
…and most importantly…
We hope each and every character brought so vividly to life will make you connect in ways that change you forever.
Tickets are $20-25 and available online.
As always, send a review or report if you go!
