Heartbreak Productions present an Open-Air Theatre

We are delighted to welcome back Heartbreak Productions with an Open-Air Theatre production at Bowood House & Gardens of ‘Sense & Sensibility’ by Jane Austen. (Aged 9+ years)

Friday 25th August 2023

Tickets on sale until midday on the day of the event.

This is a ticketed event, must be pre-purchased in advance and does not include access to the grounds and Adventure Playground of Bowood House & Gardens. Day tickets can be purchased separately. Please note Bowood House & Gardens closes at 17:00 and the gates do not open until 18:15 for the show.

Join Heartbreak Productions for Jane Austen's 'Sense & Sensibility' on the outdoor stage.

The social season is upon us! Heartbreak Productions cordially invites well-connected ladies and gentlemen of distinction to this year’s ‘Sense and Sensibility’ Debutante Ball. Ladies Elinor and Marianne Dashwood each seek to meet an honourable man of good fortune (and a handsome countenance if possible) by whatever means necessary. As you mingle amongst the beau monde revelry and romance will unfold, and we shall witness these two sisters’ trials and tribulations, their sense and sensibility, and learn the ways of Regency and courtly love. Rumours abound that royalty may even be amongst our number…

So find your finery and join Heartbreak Productions for their open-air adaptation of ‘Sense and Sensibility’. Jane Austen’s biting social satire about sisters in straightened circumstances is sure to satiate your summer romance requirement. Pack a picnic, grab a chair or blanket, and settle in for this literary classic with a Heartbreak twist.

The show starts at 19:00pm, includes a 15-minute interval, and should finish approx. 21:00pm.

Gates open from 18:15. Please do not arrive before this as the team will still be preparing the performance area.
