[Western Reserve Playhouse]

Western Reserve Playhouse announces third show of 2019 Season

“Emma” by Jane Austen

Adapted by Michael Bloom

Directed by Keith Stevens


Synopsis:

One of Jane Austen's greatest novels, Emma is presented as a highly
theatrical production. Pledging never to marry, the mischievous Emma
Woodhouse is nevertheless the "matchmaker of Highbury." Her newest project,
Harriet Smith, has already received a proposal, but Emma insists she marry
the eligible vicar Mr. Elton, while, an older family friend, Mr. Knightly,
warns her to give up matchmaking. When Emma discovers Mr. Elton is more
interested in her, she is forced to fend him off and find another suitor
for Harriet. Highbury welcomes two new guests, a mysterious Jane Fairfax
and the charming Frank Churchill, and Emma finds herself falling just a
little in love with him. Ultimately, she decides that Frank is better
suited to Harriet, but when she suggests the match, Emma is astonished to
discover that Harriet has fallen for Mr. Knightly. A horrified Emma
suddenly realizes she has always been in love with Mr. Knightley. In the
end, all is set right as Frank reveals his secret engagement to Jane,
Harriet receives a second offer from her first beau, and Mr. Knightley
proposes to the deliriously happy Emma.
