Jane Austen's Emma | Sheffield Theatres
"I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like"
The 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen is celebrated in fitting style with a new stage adaptation of her dazzling comedy of manners, Emma, produced by the historic Theatre Royal in Bath where Jane Austen spent many happy years.
The high-spirited Emma Woodhouse – handsome, clever and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition - is determined that she will never marry but loves to meddle in her friends’ and neighbours’ relationships. When her confidante and former governess, Miss Taylor weds her fiancé Mr Weston, Emma, having introduced the couple, takes credit for the marriage and decides that a future in matchmaking lies ahead of her.
So begins a comic journey through the lives and loves of Emma’s friends and neighbours, embracing the burgeoning Regency social scene of Bath and Weymouth. But as the romantic web she weaves amongst her friends becomes ever more entangled, will Emma herself get swept up in true love’s wake…?
Jane Austen’s enduring novel is filled with memorable characters - the dashing Mr Knightley, Emma’s friends Jane Fairfax and Harriet Smith, the mercenary Reverend Elton and his delightfully pretentious wife Augusta.
This new 250th anniversary stage production is adapted by Ryan Craig who has written for the National Theatre, Hampstead Theatre and recently created the best selling stage adaptation of 1984. - Theatre Trip - Wyrd Sisters (local theatre group)Sheffield Library Theatre, Sheffield

Tudor Players | WelcomeWe'll meet about 6.45, show starts 7.15. Running time tbc, there will be an interval.
Terry Pratchett takes Shakespeare’s Macbeth and then turns it up ’till the knob comes off. It’s all there – a wicked duke and duchess, the ghost of the murdered king, dim soldiers, strolling players, a land in peril. And who stands between the Kingdom and destruction? Three witches. Granny Weatherwax (intolerant, self-opinionated, powerful), Nanny Ogg (down-to-earth, vulgar) and Magrat Garlick (naïve, fond of occult jewellery and bunnies).

Gwenda's Garage | Sheffield Theatres
1980s Sheffield, Thatcher’s Britain: politics, passion, protest... where anything might happen and usually does.
Three female mechanics set up their own garage in a run-down area of the city, naming it after Gwenda Stewart, a pioneering racing driver.
Gwenda’s Garage is a fabulous new musical – an exuberant call to arms, fired by fun, feminism, friendship, above all an affirming belief in the power of collective action.
Dismantling the patriarchy one spark plug at a time.
