Fresh in this morning is a lovely review from The Stage for
Sense and Sensibility. The full review can be seen at The
Stage
The Stage 2011
'Marcus Houden’s Sir John Middleton, in an appropriately
vivid characterisation, seems to have leapt straight from Austen’s
pages'.
'Cassandra Hodges and Heather Mason contrast sweetly and most effectively as Elinor and Marianne Dashwood respectively. Mason looks ravishing and makes her character sympathetic - which is quite something' 'In his debut professional tour, Ed Pemberton is very impressive as the diffident Edward Ferrars, and is more than capable in his other roles.' |
