The University Players production of Jane Austen’s classic comedy, Emma, opened Thursday at the Essex Hall Theatre. The play is an adaptation of the classic novel about a precocious girl who finds matchmaking “the most wonderful game in the world.”

The campus production is directed by Jim Warren, a School of Dramatic Art alumnus and award-winning director. It runs through February 12; Wednesday through Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m.

On Sunday, February 5, a “Talk Back” discussion with the director and actors will follow the performance. For information or tickets, call 519-253-3000, ext. 2808, or visit http://www.uwindsor.ca/universityplayers.
