Being Jane Eyre

Matinee on 24th at 2:30pm

Duration: Approx. 1hrs 40mins with one interval.

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!
