THE WATSONS
UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE THEATRE GUILD presents
THE WATSONS

1 Aug 2025 to 10 Aug 2025

A Jane Austen play you don’t know the ending to?
That’s all right, neither did she.

 

THE WATSONS

Written by Laura Wade
Directed by Matthew Chapman

1 - 10 August 2025
Little Theatre

 

The Watsons are in crisis. Cut off financially from her benefactor, the youngest, Emma, returns to her dying father and spinster sisters with the task of finding a husband - and finding one now.  Matchmakers, match breakers, cads, stuffy clergymen and an overactive rumour mill all conspire as wedding bells ring in the distance and Emma eyes off a certain man…

…and that’s where we leave it.  See, Jane Austen never finished the story.  So it’s up to Emma, with the help of modern-day Laura, a jaded playwright with a rapidly approaching deadline, to find her own happy ending…
 

And that’s where the fun really begins.

 

An Amateur Production by Arrangement with ORiGiN™ Theatrical, on behalf of Samuel French Inc. - A Concord Theatricals Company
