Emma Reviews

Theatre Bloom- Highly Recommended

"...You can’t control everything, Emma! But isn’t it fun to watch her try!? Yes! Yes it is! And far more than fun— it’s practically a divertissement of the most jubilant nature; it’s a rather uproarious, madcap enjoyment! Emma, the Jane Austen classic— as recently adapted by Kate Hamill for maximum rom-com tomfoolery— is situating itself onto the Everyman Theatre main stage as the final production of the 2025/2026 season. Directed by Laura Kepley, this zinging delight of a reimagined rom-com is a perfect burst of giggles set in the adored Regency realm and will give you a heartfelt splendid evening of humorous theatrical endeavors."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...All in all, Everyman’s Emma is a beautifully mounted, terrifically funny production that will easily entertain those who have never read Jane Austen. For those who have but are not too strict in their devotion — Austen was always the first to laugh at herself, after all — it can provide many laughs at its deviations from the original, while even adding new perspectives."
