“Because caught up in her world of fantasy she does not always see the world as it is, does she?”

Catherine Morland knows little of the world, but who needs real-life experience when you have books to guide you? Catherine seizes her chance to escape her claustrophobic family life and join the smart set in Bath. Between balls and parties, she meets worldly, sophisticated Isabella Thorpe – Iz, to her friends – and so Cath’s very own adventure begins.

Zoe Cooper infuses the plot and spirit of Austen’s original with her unique voice, resulting in a play fizzing with imagination, packed full of humour and brimming with love.
