Northanger Abbey

by Jane Austen, adapted by Tim Luscombe

directed by Ian Forrest, designed by Martin Johns,

Saturday 29 May - Friday 5 November,

Main House

Catherine is an impressionable 17-year-old, caught up in the social whirl of fashionable Bath, her head full of new dresses, balls, theatres and Gothic novels. When she is invited to stay at ancient and mysterious Northanger Abbey, childhood home of the man of her dreams, Catherine’s imagination starts to work overtime, fuelled by the twilight world of Gothic romance…A fresh and witty adaptation of Austen’s classic novel.
