Australian fans of period romance are about to get their chance to experience a beloved literary classic on the big screen, with Sense and Sensibility preparing to make its Australian debut.
Following the film’s celebrated World Premiere in London, stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles are set to travel to Sydney later this month to promote the highly anticipated new adaptation of Jane Austen’s timeless story.
The Australian Premiere of Sense and Sensibility will take place in Sydney on Thursday, October 1, ahead of the film’s nationwide release, giving Australian audiences an opportunity to be among the first to experience the new interpretation of Austen’s much-loved novel.
But before she arrives Down Under, Daisy Edgar-Jones has already sent a special message to Australian fans.
In a newly recorded video message, Edgar-Jones personally invites audiences across Australia to experience Sense and Sensibility where it belongs — on the big screen.
It’s a warm introduction to the film ahead of her Sydney visit and adds an extra connection between the British star and Australian audiences who are eagerly awaiting the adaptation.
Edgar-Jones has become one of the most recognisable young stars working today, earning praise for performances across film and television. Her involvement in Sense and Sensibility places her at the centre of a fresh cinematic interpretation of one of Austen’s most enduring works.
The story follows the Dashwood sisters as they navigate love, heartbreak, family expectations and the social pressures of their time. At its heart, Sense and Sensibility explores the contrasting approaches to romance represented by its central characters, balancing emotional restraint with passionate feeling.
The new adaptation arrives with considerable anticipation, particularly for audiences who have grown up with Austen’s characters and stories. While the novel has been adapted numerous times, each new interpretation offers an opportunity to rediscover its themes of love, class, family and relationships through a contemporary filmmaking lens.
For Australian moviegoers, the excitement will build towards October 1, when Edgar-Jones and Creed-Miles arrive in Sydney for the Australian Premiere.
And with Edgar-Jones already taking the time to speak directly to Australian fans, her message is clear: the wait is almost over.
Sense and Sensibility will premiere in Sydney on Thursday, October 1, before opening nationwide in Australia.
