Theatreworks: Emma September 1, 2007

'Emma' brings one of literature's most delightful heroines to sparkling life in an effervescent musical based on the novel by Jane Austen. Nineteenth century ingenue Emma Woodhouse prides herself on her matchmaking skills; having engineered the marriage of one friend, she turns her attention towards making a match for her new protege. Despite her obsession with romance, Emma is clueless to her own feelings and her well intentioned efforts often misfire, leading to a whirlwind of comic complications and, of course, true love.
