Emma: No One But Herself
Music by Sarah Taylor Ellis
Book and lyrics by Meghan Brown
Bridgerton meets Regencycore exuberance meets Brené Brown’s TED Talk on the power of vulnerability.
Emma Woodhouse, handsome and clever and rich, amuses herself by matchmaking for her friends - until she meets her own match. Is opening herself up to the possibility of romance worth the sacrifice of her independence and control? This energetic and contemporary classical adaptation of Jane Austen's novel explores the necessary risk of feeling your feelings. With a fresh book and soaring score, the effervescently-paced EMMA: No One But Herself will charm you with its wit and heart.
Welcome to Highbury, people.
