Step into the charming world of Jane Austen with Kate Hamill’s witty and unexpected adaptation of Emma performed by Bishop Moore Catholic High School.Emma Woodhouse is the well-educated, mostly well-meaning mistress of Hartfield: a clever woman with infinite time on her hands. Extremely satisfied with herself for having matched her governess, Miss Taylor, with the widowed Mr. Weston, she is determined to find a suitable mate for her new friend, the dim-yet-pretty Harriet Smith. Mr. George Knightley, Emma’s friend and sparring partner, warns her against interfering in other people’s business, but Emma is used to having her way and ignores him. Alas, her plan to pair Harriet Smith with the rector, Mr. Elton, backfires horribly. Moving on from that disaster, Emma’s attention is soon captured by two new arrivals: the too-perfect Jane Fairfax and the attractive Frank Churchill. While Emma doesn’t share everyone’s admiration for Jane Fairfax (to say the least), she is captivated and charmed by Frank Churchill. The social circle widens again when Mr. Elton returns from Bath with a new wife. Assumptions, secrets and social faux pas bring events to a head, and Emma finally sees a man in her midst who loves her despite (and perhaps because of) her faults—even if she’ll never admit to having any.
