Emma Woodhouse is an enduring heroine.
The main character of Jane Austen's 1815 novel "Emma," which is being brought to the stage in Seoul by Get in the Van Productions, has enthralled audiences for centuries.
"She's quintessentially relatable to MZ women," said the play's director, Holly Lana Wright, "in a way that feels ancestral."
Jessica Kwen, the actor who will be playing the titular character, praises Emma for being witty, but admitting her mistakes.
