The power of stories. The power of the imagination. This summer, Moving Parts Theatre Company brings you Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey. A thrilling Gothic tale of dark deeds… or a playful, heartwarming Regency romance… let’s find out, shall we? Moving Parts Theatre Company takes a fresh, inventive perspective on the classics. Following the huge success of last summer’s Vanity Fair, this brand new adaptation, written and co-created by Joanna Nevin, Martin South and Simona Hughes, with an original score of music by Tamara Douglas-Morris and movement direction by Nevena Stojkov, follows the fortunes of young Catherine Morland, a wild devotee of “horrid” fiction.

Join us this summer, as we see how her story unfolds! This is an outdoor Theatre event.
