Emma's previous work includes Shakespeare's Sister , which is published and licensed by Samuel French (now Concord Theatricals), and received its international premiere at the American Shakespeare Center in Spring 2017 (dir. Jim Warren).
Shakespeare's Sister is a period drama: inspired by the tale told by Virginia Woolf in A Room of One's Own, it imagines the story of aspiring playwright Judith Shakespeare, who runs away to London to join the players, and tries to stage her play in difficult and dangerous circumstances. Shakespeare's Sister won the Theatre Royal Haymarket's Masterclass Pitch Your Play competition in 2015. |
Emma has also adapted two Austen novels for the American Shakespeare Center: Emma and Sense and Sensibility (with Brian McMahon), which is published and licensed by Samuel French. Emma's work is regularly staged by schools, drama schools, and amateur groups; you can view her full theatrical CV here: ![]()
