Top notch drama coming to magnificent outdoor venue in Kilkenny

Top notch drama coming to magnificent outdoor venue in Kilkenny

Chapterhouse Theatre Company are coming to Kilkenny next month (June 7, 7.30pm) with their production of Sense and Sensibility at Ballykeeffe Amphitheatre!

Adapted for the stage by Laura Turner, Sense and Sensibility is a classic from master of satire, Jane Austen.

The story follows two sisters of the recently destitute Dashwood family; Elinor, possessed of good common sense, and Marianne, characterised by her emotional sensibilities.

Marianne must overcome adversity as her pursuit of the dashing John Willoughby is complicated by the interests of Colonel Brandon.

Meanwhile, Elinor finds herself in a romantic entanglement with clergyman Edward Ferrars.

Austen’s trademark razor wit, aided by Turner’s deft adaptation, is on full display in this fresh take on the quintessential Regency romance.

Theatre under the open sky is the perfect pastime for those long summer evenings, and audiences are welcome to relax with a picnic while they watch the show unfold.
