Kentucky Shakespeare returns to the Actors Theatre of Louisville Pamela Brown Auditorium with Kate Hamill’s clever adaptation of the Jane Austen novel—a perfect post-holiday pick-me-up! Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated, and 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 projects—and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma’s considerable energies focus, 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!”
