  Sense and Sensibility 
  Enter the world of Regency England, where social standing and economic security are the ultimate currencies. Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen's timeless classic, follows the lives of two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, as they navigate the complexities of love, loss, and family responsibility. 
  After the death of their father, the Dashwood sisters are cast out of their family home and left to fudge through a world that values reputation above all else. Elinor, the sensible and reserved eldest sister, embodies the "sense" of the novel's title, while Marianne, the younger and more emotionally expressive sister, represents the "sensibility". 
  As they settle into their new life in a humble cottage, the sisters face numerous challenges. Elinor falls deeply in love with the reserved and stoic Edward Ferrars, but their social differences and his prior engagement threaten to keep them apart. Marianne, meanwhile, is swept off her feet by the charming but duplicitous John Willoughby, only to be heartbroken when he abandons her. 
  Through their experiences, Austen masterfully explores themes of love, money, social status, and family responsibility. With sharp wit and insight, she critiques the societal norms of her time, revealing the tension between reason and emotion, and the importance of finding a balance between the two. 
  As the sisters navigate their way through the complexities of Regency England, they must confront their own prejudices and come to terms with the realities of their society in order to find true happiness. Will Elinor and Marianne find love and security, or will the societal pressures of their time tear them apart? 
  Join Elinor and Marianne on their journey of self-discovery and rediscover why Sense and Sensibility remains one of Jane Austen's most beloved novels.

  Gian-Luca has a rocky start in life, his mother dying in childbirth, his father unknown, and he is sent to grow up with his grandparents amongst an Italian immigrant community on Old Compton Street. He becomes a waiter, where he learns the value of hard work, and soon lands a promotion to head waiter in a fine-dining restaurant. He excels in this position, and it is not long before he meets Maddelena, to whom he gets married. It seems he has found a happy ending.
  However, despite his marriage to Maddelena and his achievements in his work, he finds he is not happy, after all. Life loses its joy, and he comes to despise those he serves in the restaurant, seeing in the diners the ugly side of society. Disconsolate, he sets out to seek a more fulfilling life, and becomes a hermit, trying to reconnect with nature, and hoping to find peace outside of society.
  Despite winning awards upon its publication, Adam's Breed sank into obscurity following the censorship of Hall's later novel The Well of Loneliness. An early example of immigrant narratives, yet still relevant today, it is time Gian-Luca's stirring tale found its way back to the canon.

  Shakespeare’s finest verse play is also his first portrait of the psychology of power. 
  The sensitive and poetic Richard II is undoubtedly the rightful king of England, but he is unscrupulous and weak. When his cousin Henry Bolingbroke returns from banishment and mounts a challenge to his authority, Richard’s right to the throne proves of little help to him. Richard is forced to abdicate, but as his power is stripped away, he gains dignity and self-awareness, and he meets his death heroically. Meanwhile Bolingbroke’s seizure of the crown has caused resentment among the nobles of England. 
  Rupert Graves is Richard II, and Julian Glover is Bolingbroke. John Wood plays John of Gaunt.
