Jesuit Jane Eyre

Some days ago we posted an information about the production at a Christian school of the musical version (the Caird and Gordon's version of course) of the once coarse Jane Eyre. Today we present another one, this time in the Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Don’t miss the Brebeuf Jesuit production starring Lauren Overhage ’07 as Jane Eyre and Chris Jackson ’06.
Performances are Thursday and Friday, March 2 and 3, 7 pm, and Saturday, March 4, 2 pm and 7 pm, in the Multi-Purpose Room.
Tickets are $8/adult, $6/students.
For more information, please contact Kevin Burgun in the English Department, kburgun@brebeuf.org.

We wonder what Charlotte Brontë would have thought if she knew that Jane Eyre was being performed in a Jesuit School. Do you remember this dialogue between Lucy Snowe and Paul Emmanuel in Villette?

So I told him my impressions concerning his Jesuit system.

'The knowledge it brings you is bought too dear, monsieur; this coming and going by stealth degrades your own dignity.'

(Chapter 31- The Dryad)
