Emma Woodhouse, beautiful, clever and rich, has very little to concern her. When her governess marries
advantageously, Emma congratulates herself on her great success as a matchmaker. So, when she meets the pretty, naive and socially inferior Harriet, Emma is ready to practise her skills again - ignoring warnings of the harm she could cause from friend and neighbour, Mr Knightley.
As she sets about meddling with the affairs of the village of Highbury, Emma carves a trail of confusion, disappointment and disaster that risks Harriet's happiness and much to her surprise, her own happiness too.
This fresh, funny and perceptive adaptation by Sandy Welch, acclaimed writer of North and South, Jane Eyre, and Our Mutual Friend, brings Jane Austen's comic masterpiece about village life, love and self awareness to life with a stellar cast. As our heroine embarks on a journey that challenges her naivety and her social preconceptions, it leads her to realise that she has become so focused on the lives of others that she has failed to see what's in front of her own eyes...
