However, that’s not all. To ensure that there is a plethora of choice of Austen events, we are pleased to announce that
alongside our dance events, festival attendees will have the chance to attend a musical adaptation of Sense and Sensibility in Bath’s Pump Rooms on the evenings of Friday 12th and Saturday 13th September 2025.
|
|
|
|
If ever a novel were screaming for a musical adaptation, Sense & Sensibility is the
one.
After 2024’s sold out run, Sense & Sensibility: The Musical comes to you in a new,
intimate chamber setting, featuring outstanding international singer-actors from the UK Premiere cast.

|
Set against the stoic and judgemental values of Regency era England, the Dashwood sisters
experience the world very differently. Elinor, patient and thoughtful, upholds the values of society, yet yearns to express her true
feelings. Marianne, young and passionate, dives head-first into romance without a thought for her reputation.
With its soaring musical score and sensitive lyrics and dialogue, Sense & Sensibility:
The Touring Musical invites audiences to live alongside the Dashwood Sisters, their colourful family, friends and even enemies; where people rarely say what they mean, and passions, hidden by society, are realised in song.

We hope that our revelations allow you to start putting together some exciting plans, and start your sewing!

Until we meet in the sunny streets of Bath, all the very best of wishes,
