Emma
Written by Jane Austen
Adapted by Mary Elizabeth Burke-Kennedy
Directed by Stephanie L. Sandberg
In the Gezon Auditorium
On April 3-5, 10-12
Overview
Emma is Jane Austen’s masterpiece of romance and self-delusion. It has been described as a mystery without a “murder” and “a truly romantic comedy.” The eponymous heroine is charming as can be, but always too clever for her own good. In this beautifully crafted adaptation of the novel, we see into Emma’s motivations and the troubled mind of a woman who is truly in love, but doesn’t know it yet.
