St Botolphs Church, Botolphs - Audience Choice Austen (Pride & Prejudice or Emma)

It is a truth universally acknowledged... That the audience is always right!

This Summer, to celebrate Jane Austen's 250th anniversary year, critically acclaimed theatre company This Is My Theatre are hitting the road with productions of both Emma and Pride & Prejudice. But which will you choose?

That's right. Ahead of each show we will ask our audience to show, by way of applause, their preference for either Pride & Prejudice or Emma. 

Elizabeth Bennet or Emma Woodhouse? Longbourn or Hartfield? Darcy or Knightley? You decide!

Whichever show you choose you can expect a stunning one-act adaptation of one of Austen's most treasured works packed with rivalries, regrets and, of course, plenty of romance!
