This is an ordinary university classroom … online, but otherwise ordinary. They will be looking at Jane Austen, her work and her context, starting with the book ‘Emma’.

But some of the students are almost too familiar with the text … and it seems that characters from the novel ‘Emma’ have made their way into this class.

Both heartfelt and humorous, the students wander through discussions about fandom, race, gender, class and privilege. And this is just the first lecture of the semester.

24 Carrot Productions presented this show live online in November 2020. This is the recording of one of the performances. You will be sent a download link, which will contain both the program and the link to view the show.
