New adaptations of Jane Austen’s literary works are appearing across various media. In the United States, the Emerald Theatre has been performing a modernized stage adaptation of ‘Emma’ throughout the Greater Seattle area.

In film, director Georgia Oakley is preparing to release a new adaptation of ‘Sense and Sensibility’ in U.S. theaters on October 16. The production, filmed in the United Kingdom, stars Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles.
