Screening of Georgia Oakley's film adaptation of Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility, starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, at The Odyssey Cinema.
The Odyssey Cinema is screening Georgia Oakley's new take on Sense and Sensibility on Sunday 15 November, part of a longer run that's been playing across St Albans since late October. It's a fresh adaptation of Jane Austen's story, and if you've seen the other versions, this one brings its own cast and a good bit of location work to the table.
Daisy Edgar-Jones takes on Elinor, with Esmé Creed-Miles as Marianne, and George MacKay and Frank Dillane playing Edward Ferrars and John Willoughby. They're joined by Caitríona Balfe, Tom Brooke, Fiona Shaw and Turlough Convery. The story is the one you know: the death of their father leaves the Dashwood women with little money, forcing the family from its Sussex home and tangling the sisters' romantic lives with questions of security, reputation and feeling. Oakley describes it as a charming, witty and deeply relatable story of love and sisterhood, and it was shot across genuine historic houses in Dorset, Knebworth and Devon, so the period settings are the real thing rather than a studio build.
The film runs 131 minutes and is rated U, so it's one you can take the whole family to. The Odyssey is an independent single-screen Art Deco cinema on London Road that programmes new releases alongside classics, event cinema and special screenings, with licensed bars on site.
