Usk Lodge

Usk Lodge is a modern adaptation of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey set in South Wales in 2003. Catherine Morgan, an unremarkable tomboy as a child, experiences her first adventure at the ripe age of eighteen when she travels to Cardiff. Armed with an unworldly charm and a vivid imagination, she must overcome the caprices of city living, encountering along the way such characters as the vacuous Mrs Jenkins, coquettish Isabella and the brash Dino Crochetti. Catherine’s invitation to Usk Lodge, in her eyes a haven for exploits and intrigue, does lead to an adventure, though not the one she expects. What will become of our heroine?
