Emma

The Rep

Last night, we did dinner and a show. Dinner was at Big Sky, and the show was the Rep’s production of Emma. This rather campy treatment of the Jane Austen novel of the same name was written by Kate Hamill. It is chuck full of modern reference, sexual inuendo and features extensive breaking of the fourth wall. Emma is the story of a wealthy aristocratic woman with a penchant for meddling in other people’s lives. Set during England’s Regency period this show is a comical mix of 18th-century mores and modern sensibilities. It makes for an amusing and light fare, perfect for entertaining the holiday crowds.
