Jane Eyre
The World Premiere of a brand new adaptation of one of the greatest works of English fiction, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre.
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will”
A gothic masterpiece of tempestuous passions and dark secrets, Jane Eyre tells the thrilling story of an orphan girl and her journey from a childhood of loneliness and cruelty to a life at Thornfield Hall and an unlikely relationship with the mysterious Mr Rochester.
