A playful re-imagining of a much-loved classic
Storytelling theatre meets one of literature’s most inventive minds. A multi-skilled troupe of performers on a stage full of props, instruments and Victorian undergarments create the ever-changing world (and weather) of Jane Eyre. We travel from the red room at Gateshead to the classroom at Lowood and the fireside at Thornfield where Jane meets the enigmatic Mr Rochester, his excitable dog, Pilot, and his atmospheric house… with its secret inhabitant in the attic!

Being Jane Eyre
We acknowledge the historical context of the novel Jane Eyre and its adaptations and are committed to ensuring that our production does not perpetuate harmful stereotypes or prejudices, while also aiming to preserve the original intentions of the author and afford ourselves space for creativeness and artistic interpretation. The playwright does not specify any casting characteristic such as race or gender as crucial to the narrative of the story. Our adaptation of the novel will be performed by a mixed ensemble cast, and we welcome actors of all ages, ethnicities and genders to create a re-imagining of Charlotte Brontë’s story that’s both respectful and authentic.
