After graduating with an MA (Geography) from Oxford University, Luscombe trained as a director at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in the mid 1980s.
As a director, Luscombe has worked in London’s West End, On and Off-Broadway, in Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan and all over the UK.

His London fringe credits include a 1993 production of Joe Pintauro’s Snow Orchid featuring Jude Law at the Gate Theatre.
As a playwright, Luscombe has written for the National Theatre Studio in London, the Royal Court Theatre (The One You Love) and Hampstead Theatre (The Schuman Plan). All three of his Jane Austen adaptations (Northanger Abbey, Persuasion and Mansfield Park) have been produced in the UK, Northanger Abbey being revived in Chicago in 2013. His play Pig was produced at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto in 2013 [1] where it was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play of 2014. Hungry Ghosts was produced at the Orange Tree Theatre in 2011, and EuroVision at the Drill Hall in 1994, subsequently transferring to the Vaudeville Theatre where it was produced by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Northanger Abbey is a coming-of-age novel and a satire of Gothic novels written by the English author Jane Austen. Although the title page is dated 1818 and was published posthumously in 1817 with Persuasion, Northanger Abbey was completed in 1803, making it the first of Austen's novels to be completed in full. From a fondness of Gothic novels and an active imagination distorting her worldview, the story follows Catherine Morland, the naïve young protagonist, as she develops to better understand herself and the world around her.
