Sense and Sensibility is Jane Austen's 1811 novel following sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, whose contrasting temperaments - one restrained, one passionate - shape their very different paths through love and society. Published anonymously as 'By A Lady', it established Austen as a major literary voice and has since been adapted repeatedly for stage and screen, most famously in Ang Lee's 1995 film starring Emma Thompson.
A new film adaptation of the novel directed by Georgia Oakley and starring Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles in the lead roles will have its cinema premiere in the United Kingdom on 25 September 2026.
Focus Features releases the film in the USA on 16 October 2026; Working Title Films and November Pictures are behind the production.
Sense & Sensibility: The Musical with music by Neal Hampton and lyrics by Jeffrey Haddow played at Arcola Theatre in London as part of the Grimeborn Festival following a sold-out run in 2024.
The British tour of Sense & Sensibility: The Musical concluded with performances at the Jane Austen Festival in Bath in September 2025.
