Heartbreak's Emma tours this Summer

Date: 3 June 2009

Waltz your way through picnics, parties and posh frocks in this classic Regency rom-com.

Having developed an outstanding reputation for unique and atmospheric adaptations, Heartbreak Productions are giving theatregoers in the Northwest several opportunities to catch their Summerr tour of Emma: a brand new adaptation of the heart-warming, engaging and charming Jane Austen classic.

Famed for incisive wit and social commentary, Emma is also about the complexities of imagination versus reality and the overriding power of love and affection.

A clever, rich, bored and "slightly" spoiled young woman, Emma throws herself in to the perils of mis-matchmaking in this world-renowned and well-loved Regency rom-com. Emma is Jane Austen’s most realistic heroine trying to do her very best and, in true Austen fashion, getting it very wrong!

Dip into the gossip and squabbles, grapple with the riddles, blunders and misunderstandings and finally, revel in the glorious romance of this delightful and charming adaptation.

The production will feature live music, dance and audience interaction - as you follow these memorable character- from the engaging yet exasperating Emma to the sympathetic yet quintessential bore, Miss Bates.

Emma visits Dunham Massey Hall- Altrincham on 4 July, Walton Hall Gardens- Warrington on 8 July and Fletcher Moss Gardens- Manchester from 31 July until 2 August.
