Hattie Morahan ("The Golden Compass") plays levelheaded Elinor Dashwood, and Charity Wakefield ("Jane Eyre") is her impulsive sister Marianne. Though poor, they attract a trio of very promising gentlemen: soon-to-be wealthy Edward Ferrars (Dan Stevens, "The Line of Beauty"), heroic Colonel Brandon (David Morrissey, "Meadowlands" and "State of Play") and Byronic John Willoughby (Dominic Cooper, "The History Boys"). This production of "Sense and Sensibility" was adapted by Andrew Davies and directed by John Alexander.
