Calling all Regency romantics, gothic dreamers, and charming scoundrels! To celebrate her 250th birthday Your Chance Productions are bringing Jane Austens Northanger Abbey. Matthew Franciss adaptation ofJane Austens first novel wryly dramatizes Catherine Morlands romantic fantasy world alongside her real one, capturing Austens irony in witty dialogue and narration. Brought up in a small-town Catherine Morland never really experienced life beyond her family parsonage, that is until one day wealthy family friends invite her to join them in Bath for the summer season. Excited and a little overwhelmed, she tries to make sense of her new environment by comparing it to the gothic romances which she has been reading lately but Catherine quickly discovers that real life isn't at all like it is in fiction. In Bath she meets new acquaintances, makes a number of miscalculations about people and relationships and tries to learn who can be trusted, who has a secret agenda and whether she can really trust her own heart or her own judgement in this world of fake friends, cads and braggarts. What delights then await her beyond Bath when she's invited to join a new 'friend' at the remote and mysterious Northanger Abbey?
