Northanger Abbey

Jane Austen's wonderfully witty satire of the Gothic novel is presented for the first time as an audio play. Gothic abbeys, creepy monks, convoluted plots – young Catherine Morland loves Gothic novels! She travels with family friends to Bath for a few weeks, where she falls in love with the charming Henry Tilney. When she is invited by his sister and their father to their family estate, Northanger Abbey, she eagerly accepts. However, her overactive imagination leads her into one embarrassing situation after another. Silke Hildebrandt transforms Jane Austen's debut novel into a lively audio play full of spirit, featuring the music of Jakob Diehl and performed by a talented cast. With the voices of Ulrich Noethen, Anna Drexler, and Anne Müller. Production: Hessischer Rundfunk 2019 (2 CDs, running time approx. 2h 31).
