If you enjoyed Jane Austen's Pride and
Prejudice or Sense and Sensibility, this enchanting tale of intrigue,
adventure and romance will come as a pure delight. Innocent Catherine
Moreland (Katherine Schlesinger) enters into decadent, deceitful Bath
society with dreams and fantasies sparked by her love of gothic
romance novels. When romantic Henry Tilney (Peter Firth, MI-5)
invites her to his mysterious ancestral home, Northanger Abbey, a dark
mystery begins that will turn her romantic dreams into the stuff of
nightmares. Exactly what does the brooding General Tilney want from
her - and will the truth destroy her chance for love? Fully
restored.
A taste for melodrama from reading too many Gothic novels is almost Catherine Morland's downfall when she falls in love with Henry Tilney. Invited to stay at Northanger Abbey, she finds evidence of a sinister family secret. This is a disturbingly surreal interpretation of the Jane Austen novel.
