Upcoming Auditions

 

​Sense and Sensibility

Auditions: Sunday 21 June, Hutt Repertory Theatre, 108 Oxford Terrace, Epuni, Lower Hutt

Productions dates: 2 – 12 September

 

A cast of 8 women required ranging in age from 15 to 50 plus playing over 20 characters

 

A recently widowed mother and her three daughters must move from their beloved home on the death of the patriarch to a far distant cottage in Devon. Their half-brother and his scheming wife deprive them of much financial comfort, so they find it with distant relatives and a cavalcade of colourful Devonian characters.  

​

Romances are kindled for both sisters, hurdles are thrown up, storms bring near death, and it all ends happily ever after... just when you least expect it. 

​

“I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.” Jane Austen 

Based on Jane Austen’s masterpiece, Sense and Sensibility is the latest rambunctious rewrite by Penny Ashton (Olive Copperbottom, Promise and Promiscuity) and Austen fans and novices alike will delight in the hilarity, throbbing hearts and vivid theatricality of the script.
