Charlotte Brontë’s JANE EYRE
Adapted by Nick Young & Ross Muir
Orphaned…Oppressed…Unbreakable.
Jane Eyre’s fight for freedom, happiness and a sense of belonging, blazes from the cruelty of her childhood to the creepy corridors of Thornfield Hall, where she discovers passion, dark secrets, and a love that overcomes every obstacle.
Charlotte Brontë’s gothic romance, swept against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, with a haunting atmosphere and unforgettable emotion, tells a story of independence, resilience, and the courage to follow one’s heart.
Thrillingly brought to life in a new staging by Conn Artists Theatre Company, following on from their recent adaptation of Far from the Madding Crowd, and performed with an ensemble cast of five actors with original music and songs.
The play will be directed by Nick Young (RSC and Connaught Theatre, Worthing).
Jane Eyre is a GCSE set text on AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas school examination boards.
