Emma

Emma

This event has ended

Abbey Theatre, Friday 22nd November - Saturday 25th January

This winter, a spectacular reimagining of Jane Austen’s Emma makes its European premiere on the Abbey Stage.

Centring on the charming, clever, flirtatious, and cunning title character, Emma follows the privileged lives and relationships of individuals from upper-class families in Georgian-Regency England. Skewering social norms of the day, it examines love, desire, class, and the effort it takes to sustain a life of luxury.

Ripping the bodice of tradition, Emma will thrill audiences with modern flourishes, a contemporary soundtrack and a period-but-playful retelling of the classic comedy of manners.

Adapted by Kate Hamill, Emma is directed by Claire O’Reilly, a Resident Director at the Abbey Theatre in 2022, with a cast of exciting Irish actors to be announced in the coming weeks.

Date:
Friday 22nd November - Saturday 25th January
Time:
7.30pm (Saturday matinees at 2pm)
