A gripping, theatrical new production based on one of literature's most-loved romances. Jane Eyre accepts a position as a governess to a ward at Thornfield Hall and wins the love of her employer Edward Rochester, a kind yet mysterious man. But soon Jane's love, strength and determination are tested as Rochester's long-kept secrets are unveiled. Charlotte Brontë's classic novel receives a thrilling new adaptation by Alan Stanford, whose version of Pride and Prejudice earned rave reviews at the Guthrie by subscribers and critics alike.
