Jane Austen's Emma
About this Event
Emma Woodhouse: handsome, clever, and rich… and just a little too sure she knows what’s best for everyone else. With her governess happily married (thanks, she’s certain, to her own matchmaking skills), Emma decides her next project will be finding love for her new friend, Harriet Smith. What could possibly go wrong?
Plenty, as it turns out. Despite warnings from her neighbour, Mr. Knightley, Emma dives headfirst into everyone’s romantic business. Soon, her plans for Harriet take a disastrous turn. Between misunderstandings, secret crushes, and more than a few bruised egos, maybe real love can’t be plotted out like a game of chess. And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, two intriguing newcomers arrive in Highbury: the effortlessly perfect Jane Fairfax and the charming, flirtatious Frank Churchill.
In this fresh, funny adaptation by Ash Parker, Jane Austen’s timeless story comes to the Edinburgh stage this Christmas in all its Regency glory. Expect quick wit, bold characters, a dash of chaos, and plenty of heart. So sit back and enjoy the matchmaking mischief, the tangled love stories, and the sparkling humour that make Emma one of literature’s most irresistible heroines.
