Sense and Sensibility (U)

Sense and Sensibility is screening at The Film Theatre in The Wade Centre on Thursday 5 November, with earlier showings on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October. It's a new take on Jane Austen's novel, set in Georgian England and following the Dashwood sisters, the cautious Elinor and the fiery Marianne. After their inheritance is lost, they're forced to move from their grand home to a modest country cottage, bound by the confining societal expectations of 18th-century England. It's a charming, witty story of love and sisterhood.

Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles play Elinor and Marianne, with Caitríona Balfe, George MacKay and Fiona Shaw in supporting roles. The Film Theatre is Stoke-on-Trent's leading independent cinema, screening independent film, world cinema and classics on the big screen since 1974. Now based at The Wade Centre, it's run entirely by volunteers as a registered charity. They also programme 'Retro Vault', a monthly celebration of cult and classic films from across the decades.

For the screenings, the bar and box office open from 7pm, and there are no adverts or trailers, so the film starts without the usual wait. You'll find the cinema at The Wade Centre, Hartshill Road, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 7NY.
