The youngest daughter of the Watsons family, Emma, has been cut off by her wealthy aunt. She needs to marry - and that fast - otherwise she will face a life spent in the family home, being both a spinster and poor. Doesn't sound too appealing, does it?

Luckily, she has plenty of suitors asking her to dance, from the dashing socialite Tom Musgrave to the stinking rich and socially awkward Lord Osborne. Seems like her problems might be solved after all. But which partner should she pick?

So far, so good - and so familiar to the themes in other novels written by Jane Austen. However, Austen stopped writing and the story is abandoned and left unfinished. Two hundred years later, the forgotten heroine created by Austen is still wondering how her happy ending will turn out - if it is happy at all. So, what happens when a writer loses the plot and fictional characters take control of their tale?

Picking up an unfinished novel, Olivier Award-winner Laura Wade's new comedy creates a new take on Jane Austen's world. It's clever, hilarious and does what most aspiring writers don't get done: Finishing the book!
