A bold and theatrically inventive adaptation of the literary classic that puts the interior life of the novel on stage.

​

As a child, the orphaned Jane Eyre is taught by a succession of severe guardians to stifle her natural exuberance. A part of herself is locked away, out of view of polite society... until she arrives at Rochester’s house as a governess to his young child. Soon Rochester’s passionate nature reawakens Jane’s hidden self, but darker secrets are stirring in the attic...

Polly Teale's adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was first performed by Shared Experience Theatre Company in 1997.
