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!”
“Inventively and deliriously fun. Austen positioned Emma’s meddling as the product of a keen mind marooned in a society with little use for it, but Hamill goes one better, showing how wealth and class feed Emma’s dilettantism… Prepare to be charmed.” – Star Tribune
Hamill’s adaptation is an absolute marvel, a breathtaking work of comedic and feminist genius that we believe Jane Austen would be fiercely proud of.” – Aisle Say
