Jane Austen’s

Northanger Abbey

At The Commandery Gardens

Jane Austen’s joyful romance is set partly in Regency Bath and partly at Northanger Abbey in rural Gloucestershire.  Our naïve heroine Catherine Morland is obsessed with reading Gothic horror novels which fuel her over-active imagination.  In her mind, nothing is ever what it seems.  Thank goodness she finds a down-to-earth, unsentimental suitor in Henry Tilney.  But with Henry comes the rest of his family and their idiosyncratic ways.  This new production of what is agreed to be Jane Austen’s earliest major work promises to be light-hearted, fun and just a little bit scary. 

Presented by Worcester Repertory Company, who produced last year’s highly successful Sense and Sensibility.
