Woodhouse written by Kath Haling and Katharine Farmer: a musical adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma that explores what Jane would have said if she was here to say it now, with more freedom to show her characters as stronger and more independent with less of a need for them to seem naive.
Featuring songs ‘Any Wonder’and ‘Say It Again’ performed by Roshani Abbey and Oli Higginson.
