About

Emma Watson is 19 and new in town. Cut off by her rich aunt and dumped back in the family home, Emma and her sisters must marry, fast. Luckily, there are plenty of potential suitors to dance with, from the flirtatious Tom Musgrave to castle-owning Lord Osborne, who's as awkward as he is rich. So far so familiar. Just one problem, this story is unfinished…

Based on Jane Austen’s incomplete novel, this sparklingly witty play looks under the bonnet of Jane Austen and explores the evolution of characters and their endless literary possibilities.
