An irresistible new adaptation of Jane Austen's classic rom-com, swapping drawingroom duets for dance floor-fillers, taking audiences on a ride of matchmaking and mischief that ignites laughter and warms the heart. Emma Woodhouse thinks she has it all figured out. Fresh from Oxford University and back in her hometown for the summer, Emma is ready to do what she does best: sort out everyone else's lives, whether they like it or not. Her closest friend Harriet is a total dating disaster, her father keeps disappearing on mysterious errands, and George Knightley refuses to stop pointing out the flaws in her flawless plans. But Emma knows best... right? Ava Pickett's stage adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma is premiered by The Rose Theatre, Kingston, in 2025.
