The Watsons / ˈwɒtsənz / n.

1. a family navigating societal expectations;

2. a playful exploration of unfinished stories

 

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young woman returning home must be in want of a husband. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a writer adapting Jane Austen's unfinished novel for the stage must be in want of an ending.

 

Peeking under the bonnet of Jane Austen, The Watsons is a warm, funny and surprising play about a group of characters without an author to guide them. Without Austen, who will write the happy ending now. 

 

"Ronin Theatre Production’s remit is simple: they will only put on shows written in the last 30 years. This means that their productions are always contemporary, relevant parables for today’s pressing issues."
