Jane Austen’s EMMA

With music, lyrics and book by Paul Gordon, Emma firmly believes herself to be a most talented matchmaker and chooses her hapless and easily influenced friend Harriet as her next endeavor. Yet despite Emma’s obsession with romance, she remains clueless about her own feelings and the true desires of those around her. Her matchmaking mischief leads to countless comic complications and a little heartache but ultimately ends in true love. According to VARIETY, “The songs…cleverly woven throughout – enhance the story in wonderful ways …elegant…a charmer.” Robert Kelley directed the show’s world premiere at TheatreWorks in Palo Alto (where he is Artistic Director) and will direct at the Playhouse as well.
