Born in Camden Town, London, in 1975, she balanced her early breakout success with academic pursuits, later earning a Master’s degree in English from Wadham College, Oxford. Across a prolific career spanning nearly four decades, May has established a versatile body of work across film, television, and theatre, with prominent roles in period classics like The Last of the Mohicans and The Other Boleyn Girl, popular television dramas such as Gentleman Jack, and major genre properties including Queen Calanthe in Netflix’s The Witcher and Empress Natalya in HBO's Dune: Prophecy.
Emma Woodhouse is a clever, wealthy, and meddlesome young woman living in the English countryside who fancies herself an expert matchmaker. Convinced of her own superiority and immune to romantic entanglement herself, Emma meddles in the lives of those around her—particularly her timid friend Harriet Smith, whom she schemes to pair with the local vicar. Her well-intentioned interference spirals into comic chaos as misunderstandings multiply and hidden feelings surface. When the charming, mysterious Mr. Frank Churchill arrives in town, Emma's certainty wavers. Through a series of revelations and romantic missteps, Emma must confront her own blindness to love, her capacity for cruelty, and the possibility that true connection lies closer than she ever imagined. A witty exploration of self-deception, social ambition, and the transformative power of genuine affection.
