EMMA

EMMA, by Kate Hamill and based on the novel by Jane Austen takes the stage at Irish Classical Theatre from September 18th through October 4th. Click here for tickets and details.

Friendship, folly and the messy business of love. A sparkling and spirited re-imagining of Austen’s classic novel, where a confident matchmaker’s meddling spirals into comic chaos. Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated, energetic… and in imminent danger of going mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs a project – and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma aims her attention, tangled hearts and screwball comedy follows… A fresh feminist take on a treasured classic, this Emma breaks down convention, expectation, and even the fourth wall with vibrant comic flair—leading audiences “forward, onward, and upward!”

Showtimes: Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30pm; Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm.
Run Time: Approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with one fifteen minute intermission.
