The Dorset Corset Theatre Company present
Northanger Abbey

adapted by Helen Davis

Catherine Morland is hopelessly addicted to Mrs Radcliffe's lurid and macabre gothic novel 'The Mysteries of Udolpho'. In Bath she falls for the witty Henry Tilney whose family invite her to the dark and sinister Northanger Abbey and excited by the prospect she readily accepts. At Northanger Abbey Catherine's over-active imagination causes her two worlds to collide as fantasy gets in the way of reality. Can she separate the two?

Using live music, physical performers, and their own unique performance style, The Dorset Corset Theatre Company is set to thrill audiences this autumn with their new adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel Northanger Abbey.

"… clever use of traditional song, some finely judged knockabout comedy and terrific performances" - Blackmore Vale Magazine
