Casting

Emma — Late 20s-30s. Almost unbelievably charming; a natural comedienne. Bouncily flirty; possesses more power of manipulation than even she understands; has a certain sunny, charming self-regard — it’s what allows her to get away with so much.

Harriet Smith — 20s. A deeply likable girl from the lower classes, who’s been given a basic education. A sweet, naturally affectionate human being, but not the brightest flame in the stove.

MRS. WESTON — Mid 30s-late 40s. Emma’s former governess. A very smart woman with a good sense of humor; very perceptive and grounded. Not afraid to tell it like it is.

MISS BATES — 40s+. Headmistress of a struggling school for girls. An incredibly good-natured, if motor-mouthed and daft, woman.

ANE FAIRFAX — 20s-30s. You know that girl who always seems to do everything right? Jane is that girl. An overachiever. Very composed. Very beautiful. Very discreet. Very accomplished. Very smart.

MRS. ELTON — 20-30s. Not bright. What’s more, she has a laugh that’s the auditory equivalent of nails being torn out of your fingers. Is delighted by everything. Her libido is…. quite active.

MR. KNIGHTLEY — 30s-40s. A handsome man; a super charming man; an upright fellow. He’s also a bit of a rule-follower; maybe sometimes a bit of a stick in the mud.

MR. WOODHOUSE — 60s+. An over-anxious, melancholy hypochondriac, but people humor him, as he’s a nice man under it all. Obsessed with the healing powers of gruel.

MR. ELTON — Any age. A clergyman who sometimes gets the wrong idea. ADORES poetry. A born social climber. Fancies himself a great romantic.

FRANK CHURCHILL — 20s-30s. An incredibly charming, handsome, mischievous flirt of a man—the kind of man who gets away with almost everything, because he’s so irresistible. Not a bad guy, really; just a bit too likable for his own good. Ladies love him.
