Em

Emmett Woodhouse, handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and a gay disposition has lived nearly [redacted] years in the world with very little to distress or vex him.

Until now.

Em is a queer retelling of Jane Austen’s masterwork Emma by award-winning playwright Sam Brooks, turned around, flipped and set in our very own Queenstown. Em won the Dean Parker Adaptation Award at the 2023 Adam New Zealand Play Awards. This is a fundraiser for the Pride Elevates season of The Perfect Image at Lot23.
