Emma at the Wells Theatre (Norfolk)
November 8, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Enter the world of Jane Austen with Kate Hamill’s Emma! A sharp, witty, and laugh-out-loud modern take on the classic tale of love, matchmaking, and mischief. Regency style meets contemporary flair… this is not your English teacher’s Jane Austen.
Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated, and energetic… and about to go mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, Emma desperately longs for projects—and prides herself on matchmaking, much to the chagrin of her friend Mr. Knightley. But where Emma’s considerable energies focus, screwball comedy follows! A fresh and funny new take on a treasured classic.
“Emma” is entertaining for the whole family, but best suited for ages 8+.
Content Advisory: The comedic banter is layered with flirtatious and romantic themes, along with a healthy dose of social satire. Dating misadventures may cause discomfort to those particularly sensitive to cringe.
