Emma's previous work includes Shakespeare's Sister , which is published and licensed by Samuel French, 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 Masterclass 'Pitch Your Play' competition and was performed in staged readings at the Theatre Royal Haymarket and King's College London, as part of the Shakespeare400 celebrations, and staged by third-year drama students at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in Wandsworth, London. Forthcoming productions include performances at the Vermont Shakespeare Festival, and at Bangs High School, Texas.
