Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey at Guild Festival Theatre

Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen’s satire of the Gothic novel craze, is brought to life in a hilarious, whirlwind production by the director of last year's hit The 39 Steps!
Catherine Morland loves reading the latest books but she lets her imagination run wild, finding Gothic mystery in the most mundane corners of England. As the clichés of the Horrid Novels spill into her reality, Catherine's simple holiday is transformed into a personal adventure filled with mischief and romance.

Presented outdoors at the iconic Greek Theatre in Guild Park & Gardens, this new adaptation of Austen's charming coming-of-age story is a funny and fast-paced journey of first love and self-discovery.

Guild Festival Theatre’s 2026 Season is presented by ARC Insurance & Financial Services Inc.
