Jane Austen's classic Gothic Rom Com! adapted by Matthew Francis You are welcome to picnic in the grounds before the show and enjoy the gardens of Townhill Park House Northanger Abbey - A coming-of-age comedy of manners (and ill manners), of reading and misreading, by Jane Austen, the queen of Rom Com. We join Catherine Morland on her adventures from sleepy Fullerton to Bath - THE place to be and be seen - and finally onto Northanger Abbey, where reality and fantasy meet as our unlikely heroine devours the gothic novel "The Mysteries of Udolpho". The more horrid, the better! What really happened to General Tilney's wife - and does the answer lie locked inside a secret chest in Northanger Abbey? Can Catherine maintain friendships with everyone she meets? Who can she really trust? And, of course, will there be wedding bells? If so, for whom? Maskers Theatre will be touring this production to the following venues as part of the Jane Austen 250 celebrations: Maskers Studio Theatre, Southampton Hanger Farm Arts Centre, Totton, Chesil Theatre, Winchester King Edwards Hall, West Tytherley
