2019.1.13. Sense and Sensibility at Portland Center Stage

1/13, Sunday, 7:30pm. A modern and comic adaptation of Sense and Sensibility at PCS. I didn't care for the costume design (still 1800s, but much simpler) nor the stage design (very simple with a long table messy like a dressy room). Actors sit on the chairs and move them all the time, most of those times don't make much sense. All actors yelling at the audience at the beginning of the show makes no sense. Mrs. Jennings talking off trail sometimes is a bit too long to be funny. The rendering of Marianne feeling dizzy, riding of horses, sleeping on a vertical bed are very good. Overall, it was entertaining, and innovative.
