Emma

A delightfully unconventional and fun adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic comedy.

Ever the romantic, Emma Woodhouse prides herself on being the best matchmaker in town. Goaded by her friend George Knightley, she sets out on a quest to set up the adorable ingénue Harriet with a fitting suitor. But love has its own agenda with plenty of twists and turns in store – including a few for Emma herself. 

This rendition of Emma is a joyous, irreverent take in conversation with the Regency novel. In a new adaptation that’s a bit zany and refreshingly contemporary, playwright Kate Hamill infuses the language and perspectives of today into Austen’s beloved characters. You may be surprised by who says what — and how. One thing’s for sure, you’ll never see Emma the same way again. 

“With screwball comedy and surprises aplenty, this fresh, fast-paced [production] interprets the Jane Austen classic with delightfully unconventional flair.” –BroadwayWorld
