Emma Parker has it all. A great job, a super cute apartment in the city (more like a third-floor studio), a popular blog (is 738 subscribers popular?), and two best friends she wouldn’t trade for the world. Love? Okay, maybe she didn’t have it all, but what's the rush? At the tender age of 23 (almost 24), Emma knows she has plenty of time to find the perfect guy. That is, until her two best friends enter the dating scene and fall in love. After a night of one too many appletinis, a semi-meltdown, and a Lose My Virginity Challenge post, Emma’s little blog goes viral.

This play forms part of a tetralogy which focuses on one of Wedekind's obsessive themes: the destructive interplay between primal sexual urges and social convention. Each play revolves around a powerful young female character, who has the power to control and captivate men, but who in turn is destroyed by the exercise of that power. In Castle Wetterstein, that role is represented by Effie, the young daughter of a bourgeois widow, who is being courted by the man who killed her late husband in a duel.

Northanger Abbey is one of Jane Austen’s first novels, though it was not published until after her death, and contains some of her most biting satire. Catherine Morland, the novel’s naive and provincial heroine, has formed her idea of the world from Gothic novels, full of gloomy Italian castles, long-kept secrets, and dastardly villains. However, when she travels to the city of Bath and encounters a wider society, she will discover that all her reading has ill-prepared her for the real world.

The Importance of Being Earnest is Wilde's most famous and oft-produced play. First performed in 1895, and subtitled "A Trivial Comedy for Serious People", it shows Wilde at his satirical and scathingly witty best. It follows the misadventures of Algy and Jack as they attempt to woo and wed Cecily and Gwendolen under the assumed name "Ernest", much to the disapproval of the aristocratic Lady Bracknell.
