It fizzes with life, rattles along at a cracking pace and provides an entertaining an evening as I've seen this year.
WhatsOnStage
Famously unfinished at the time of her death, Jane Austen's The Watsons has kept fans guessing for over 200 years. A classic of her style, the heroine Emma Watson is intelligent and headstrong as she is cast into polite society to find a husband before spinsterdom claims her. With a queue of potential suitors and a decision to make, she is then suddenly cut off after Chapter 5.
Now, Olivier winning playwright Laura Wade (Posh, Home, I'm Darling) takes up the thread of Emma's tale in this fizzing stage adaptation set to make its London debut this autumn. Asking what can characters do after their author abandons them, Wade presents a suitably hilarious ending to Austen's beginning.
Previews from: 20 September 2019

gloriously INVENTIVE Entertainment
Charming and riotously entertaining, and like the woman whose work it's based on - packs a memorable and satirical punch.
The wit and heart of Jane Austen shines brightly in this dazzlingly written and executed deconstruction of an early, unfinished work from the famous author, 'fantastically completed' by Laura Wade.
