JENNY Wren Productions will delve into the dating scene of the early 19th century when it stages Jane Austen's Emma in Malvern’s Priory Park.
In the company's playful adaptation of the classic novel, Emma constantly tries to pair off her unfortunate friend Harriet Smith with unsuitable men.
But she remains convinced that, for herself, the single life is the only way. Matches are made and unmade, but after all the outrageous flirting, declarations of love and heaving of bosoms, will Emma's heart escape unscathed?
If it rains, the production will be staged in the Coach House Theatre, which is providing technical support for the play.
Jenny Wren Productions is a Gloucestershire-based theatre company renowned for its open air productions of classic stories, which brought an open air Jungle Book to Malvern last year.
Emma is on Saturday, August 4, at 7pm. Tickets are available from boxoffice@malvern-theatres.co.uk or 01684 892277.
