Comedy! Adventure! Romance! - Murder? Lynn Marie Macys hilarious adaptation of Jane Austens novel follows the adventures of Catherine Morland, a passionate though impressionable English village girl, who is perhaps too devoted to reading gothic thrillers.

Young Catherine hungers for adventure and soon finds it in the fashionable spa resort of Bath - hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Allen, her wealthy neighbors from home. She is caught up in the Thorpe and Tilney families social flurry - all the while obsessively reading her exciting new novel, Radcliffes The Mysteries Of Udolpho. Scenes from the novel, experienced in Catherines vivid imagination, are melded with her relatively civil yet equally adventurous real life. The outcome is a swashbuckling coming-of-age journey through Catherines diverging realities, resulting in an unforeseen trip to the mysterious estate, Northanger Abbey. Is the medieval Northanger Abbey equally as haunted as the Italian Castle Udolpho? A perfect event for Halloween!
