Description
A bold and theatrically inventive adaptation of Jane Eyre brings the interior life of the novel to the stage. As a child, Jane is taught to stifle her natural exuberance by her severe guardians, leading to a part of herself being locked away from polite society.
When she arrives at Rochester's house as a governess to his young child, Jane's hidden self is reawakened by Rochester's passionate nature. However, darker secrets are stirring in the attic, threatening to upend her newfound freedom.
This adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's novel was first performed by Shared Experience Theatre Company in 1997 and offers a fresh take on the story.
