NA play “rousing, entertaining theater”
Michael Criscuolo from nytheatre.com loves Theater Ten Ten’s production of NORTHANGER ABBEY.
Theater Ten Ten’s new revival of Northanger Abbey: A Romantic Gothic Comedy is rousing, entertaining theatre. Lynn Marie Macy’s adaptation of both the novel by Jane Austen and The Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe is a paragon of its form. This funny and suspenseful production boasts strong writing, expert direction by David Scott, and a crackerjack cast led by the beguiling Tatiana Gomberg. If you need a Jane Austen fix, you could not ask for a better one than this.
Sounds like another winner, Gentle Readers!
Alert Janeite Heather L. also sent us a link to a podcast featuring various authors included in the anthology Playing With Canons, including Lynn Marie Macy, the author of this adaptation of NA. (That’s a direct link–right-click and Save As to save the podcast to your computer.) Lynn Marie kindly sent us the photo included in this post–click on the thumbnail to see the full-size image. It is the scene in which Henry and Eleanor Tilney describe Northanger Abbey to Catherine.
