Northanger Abbey (4.0/5)

An abridged version of Jane Austin superbly delivered by two talented actors and an array of puppets.  Played straight, which is good for a few laughs as the script takes advantage of Austin's swooning women in search of an heroic role.  Both actors switch characters with great gusto, even passing characters between themselves.  It's a little long, but on the whole an entertaining mix of puppetry and live theatre.
