“Austen reportedly said, before writing the novel, “I am going to take a heroine whom no one but myself will much like.” But it’s hard not to like Tyler’s Emma.”
-Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune
“As Emma Woodhouse, [Tyler] is everything Jane Austen describes in her novel: handsome, clever and rich. And she’s a constant, a graceful and articulate catalyst, who provokes and inspires the rest of the characters.”
- Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Reviews
“Miss Woodhouse, brought sprightfully and delightfully to life by Emma Sipora Tyler. Tyler infuses her character with both joie de vivre and reckless self-confidence.”
