Emma

By Kate Hamill Based on the novel by Jane Austen Directed by Meredith McDonough

Who needs to swipe right when you have Emma Woodhouse?

Emma prides herself on being a matchmaker with an impeccable track record. But her best-laid plans are turned upside down by unpredictable displays of affection, unexpected rivals, and Emma’s sudden realization that true love may have been under her nose all along. This playful adaptation turns the Jane Austen classic into a delightful comedy for the 21st century.
