The Watsons, a play by Laura Wade, starts as a traditional Jane Austen adaptation about 19 year old Emma Watson, forced to find husbands to avoid poverty after being cut off by her aunt, but it breaks convention when the story ends, and the characters realize their author abandoned them, leading to meta-commentary as they rebel and try to write their own endings, exploring themes of authorship, free will, and societal expectations.
