Sense and Sensibility Shimmers at Summit Playhouse

Review by Liz Keill

​

"Director Susan Speidel has captured the intricate tale of romance gone awry, along with gossipy characters and intrigue, all in the early 1800s, set in the English countryside and London...It all beautifully conveys the essence of its time, from mannerisms to accents to the perennial appeal of falling in love."
