“Full credit to adaptor and director Tim Luscombe for avoiding the more obvious titles and staging an earlier work that transfers more felicitously to the stage.”—Guardian
As she moves through the social whirl in the city of Bath and in the pleasant county seat of Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland’s head is filled with the gothic fantasies of Mrs. Radcliffe’s Mysteries of Udolpho.
one big, beautiful, bright frolic. In dire need of a romantic comedy to stage? Northanger Abbey will sate your craving. --Chicagotheatrebeat
Tim Luscombe's adaptation of Northanger Abbey is an absolute delight...witty, fast moving and stylish...The masterstroke of this version is actually interweaving the Gothic tale of Udolpho into the storyline with actors taking on their fictional characters. So Catherine, on first seeing Henry, sees the dashing Valancourt. Of course, love must follow. --Salisbury Journal
Tim Luscombe's devilishly good stage adaptation of the Jane Austen novel. Dazzling. --Chicago Times
