Game. Set. Matchmake.
Jane Austen’s beloved Regency-era heroine takes center stage in this fast, funny, feminist adaptation by Kate Hamill, featuring contemporary pop music and a screwball-comedy spirit. Emma believes she has it all figured out, especially when it comes to other people’s love lives. The self-appointed matchmaker means well, but in a world with few options for women beyond marriage, her meddling leads to a bevy of misadventures, mishaps and misunderstandings, leading her to confront the difference between toying with matters of the heart and truly experiencing them. Meredith McDonough makes her OSF directorial debut with a bold, genre-bending romp that turns Austen on her head.
Emma is presented through special arrangement with and all authorized performance materials are supplied by TRW PLAYS, 1180 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 640, New York, NY 10036. www.trwplays.com
