The Nowra Players' second production of the year is a modern adaption of the Jane Austen classic, Sense and Sensibility. A very recent hit on Broadway, it's a lively and fast moving script by actor Kate Hamill. It has all the elements of the novel cleverly contrived to make a humorous yet moving tale of the two sisters, Marianne and Elinor, and their complicated love lives. Visit the Nowra Players Theatre website or phone 1300 662 808 for tickets.
