This month the ever-popular St Ives Musical Amateur Dramatic Society (SIMADS) will stage a musical adaptation of the much-loved classical novel by Charlotte Bronte - 'Jane Eyre'.
The production, which will take place at the St Ivo Recreation Centre in the Burgess Hall, St Ives, from April 23 to April 28, is a dramatic first in East Anglia and has been adapted in a style not wholly dissimilar to 'Les Miserables'.
A spokesperson for SIMADS said the production is the most challenging undertaken by the society with a completely new approach to staging, lighting and sound.
However, everyone involved is proud, excited and looking forward to the opening night.
