Emma

Rising star playwright Ava Pickett follows up her excellent Almeida hit 1536 with a present day set stage adaptation of Jane Austen’s all-timer Emma. Young actor Amelia Kenworthy – who some may recognise as a doomed Elven smith in The Rings of Power – plays the eponymous Emma Woodhouse, freshly returned from Oxford University, ready to sort everyone else’s lives out while oblivious to the fact she’s neglecting her own. Rose boss Christopher Haydon directs.
