‘It’s not femininity that needs rethinking, it’s masculinity.’

Emma Bovary marries her father’s doctor. Marriage promises the highest romantic dreams, but daily life quickly becomes suffocating. In Carme Portaceli’s interpretation, Emma is not a tragic dreamer but ‘the feminist voice of the 21st century’, joining a lineage of literary heroines like Jane Eyre, Anna Karenina and Mrs. Dalloway in contemporary theatre.
