A bold, witty and fresh adaptation of Jane Austen's novel which,
while thoroughly modern, retains the spirit and much of the
language of the original. It is night-time and an exhausted Jane
Austen sleeps over the recently completed manuscript of her novel
Emma. Her four nieces steal in and decide to act out the text and,
after her initial anger on being wakened, Jane herself takes the
role of Mr Knightley. The excitable teenage girls often try to take
the story into their own realms of fantasy but are always brought
back to the real text by Jane. This adaptation of Jane Austen's
Emma, by Doon MacKichan and Martin Millar, was first performed at
the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 1999, transferring to the
Tricycle Theatre, London, in September.
