Overview

Join The Questors Theatre for a delightful and irreverent outdoor performance of Emma, adapted by award-winning playwrights Doon Mackichan and Martin Millar. Set in the picturesque back garden of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery in Walpole Park, this fresh take on Jane Austen’s beloved novel sees the author herself act out the tale with her nieces. Bring a picnic rug or folding chair and enjoy theatre in one of Ealing’s most historic and beautiful settings, once the home of Sir John Soane. Presented by The Questors Theatre, one of the UK’s leading amateur theatre companies based in West London.
