The 250th anniversary of Bath's favourite writer is celebrated in fitting style with a new stage adaptation of Jane Austen's comedy of manners, Emma.

The beautiful, high-spirited Emma Woodhouse is determined that she will never marry but loves to meddle in her friend's and neighbour's relationships. When her confidante and former governess, Miss Taylor, weds her fiancé Mr Weston, Emma, having introduced the couple, takes credit for the marriage and decides that a future in matchmaking lies ahead of her.

So begins a comic journey through the lives and loves of Emmas friends and neighbours, embracing the burgeoning Regency social scene of Bath and Weymouth. But as the romantic web she weaves amongst her friends becomes ever more entangled, will Emma herself get swept up in true love's wake...?
