Emma demonstrates Jane Austen's legendary love of laughter and gossip, particularly where ladies, love, and marriage are concerned. When Emma sets about matchmaking among her friends and acquaintances, she discovers her own inadequacies in the art. Luckily, she learns her lesson in time to seize her own chance for true love.

Prunella Scales trained at the Old Vic Theatre School and with Uta Hagen in New York. She is particularly well known for her work as Sybil in Fawlty Towers, and she also appeared in the film Howard's End and in the television miniseries of Emma. Her performance in Alan Bennett's play about Anthony Blunt, A Question of Attribution, was highly acclaimed. She was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours in 1992.

Jane Austen (1775-1817) is the author of many beloved novels, including: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey.
