Jane Austen’s classic tale of matchmaking and misjudgment finds a fitting voice in the strains of performer Victoria Morgan, herself an acclaimed author of historical romance. Morgan displays an impressive knack for period acting, endowing the namesake Emma Woodhouse with elocutionary crispness and aristocratic self-assurance - fitting for a character that surely ranks among Austen’s most independent and strong-willed women. Even as Ms. Woodhouse’s tangled web of romance unravels before her, listeners are sure to be captivated and beguiled by this perfect match of performer and author.
