🪑 Our From Page to Stage series continues as we count down to the WORLD PREMIERE of Jane Austen’s Emma – adapted for the stage by our patron, acclaimed writer Andrew Davies. We couldn’t resist going back to Chris Bird (Mr Knightley) and Rose Kenny (Emma) for another chat! This time, we asked them: “How are you working with Corrina, the director, to bring your characters to life?” Chris and Rose lift the lid on the rehearsal room – sharing how Corrina’s collaborative approach is helping them explore, experiment, and shape two of Austen’s most iconic characters. 🎥 Huge thanks to @breakaleg_films (Michael Wheeldon) for filming and editing these From Page to Stage interviews – more are coming soon! 📅 Emma opens Saturday 27th September – and with some shows already fully booked, don’t miss your chance to see this world premiere on stage. #EmmaOnStage #WorldPremiere #JaneAusten #Emma #AndrewDavies #FromPageToStage #BehindTheScenes #TheatreMagic #TalismanTheatre #Kenilworth #SupportLocalTheatre 9
