Step into the delightful world of Highbury, where the sharp-witted and charming Emma Woodhouse reigns supreme.
Convinced she’s a natural at orchestrating happily-ever-afters, Emma takes on the delightful challenge of finding the perfect match for her sweet, impressionable friend, Harriet Smith.
But in a village brimming with hidden affections, misplaced intentions and unexpected revelations, Emma soon discovers that even the most confident matchmaker can be hilariously misguided.
Will her carefully laid plans unravel, or will she finally learn that true love—and true understanding—might be found closer to home than she ever imagined?
Join Bijou Tasmania for a sparkling journey into the heart of Regency romance, where wit, errors and charm collide.
Benedicta McGeown (Miss Emma Woodhouse) and Andrew Holmes (Mr Knightley).
