American Premiere!
Catherine Morland knows little of the world, but who needs real-life experience when you have novels to guide you? Seizing her chance to escape her claustrophobic family and join the smart set in Bath, she meets worldly, sophisticated Isabella Thorpe – Iz, to her friends – and so Cath’s very own adventure begins. This playful and surprising reimagining of Northanger Abbey is infused with the spirit of Jane Austen’s original novel and fizzes with imagination and humor.
