After Mrs Rochester
Wednesday, 12th December 2007 - Saturday, 15th December 2007
By Polly Teale
Directed by Natalie Wilson
Jean Rhys was fascinated with Jane Eyre - and more particularly with Bertha Mason, the first Mrs Rochester and the 'madwoman in the attic'. Placing Bertha on stage throughout as Jean's alter ego, Polly Teale's remarkable dramatization of Rhys's life gives full vent to this obsession - which was to prove the catalyst for Wide Sargasso Sea, one of the works of genius of the 20th century' - The Times
