Synopsis: Sense And Sensibility is a story of two young sisters, restrained, rational Elinor Dashwood and the wildly romantic, impulsive Marianne Dashwood. The death of their father throws their privileged world into chaos. With no entitlement to his estate, they are forced to live in poverty. Although the sisters' chances of marriage seem doomed, attractive men are drawn to them. Elinor becomes attached to the highly-eligible Edward Ferrars – but why is he so guarded and secretive? Marianne attracts both war hero Colonel Brandon and glamorous, Byronic Willoughby.
