Georgie Oakley’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility is a beautifully raw, naturalistic reimagining that strips away the traditional pristine veneer of the period drama. Collaborating with debut screenwriter Diana Reid and cinematographer Arnaud Potier, Oakley creates a film centred on the grit required by women to make their way in the world, the unbreakable bonds…
From the magical world of Practical Magic 2 to the intimate stage of Greenwich Theatre, Cassie Bradley is currently stepping into two very different worlds. Bradley plays Hannah Owens in Practical Magic 2, alongside Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, while also preparing to take on the demanding role of Rachel Corrie in the one-woman production My Name Is Rachel Corrie, bringing Corrie’s own words, diaries and emails to…
