High School Brontë

Some US high school productions of Brontë-related plays that have been (or will be) performed these days:

• Ann Arbor Young Actors Guild, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Jane Eyre

adapted by Robert Johansson from the novel by Charlotte Brontë
directed by Sue Roe

Charlotte Bronte's magnificent gothic story will be brought to life in a script that has been described as "rich in mystery and romanticism" and filled with "brooding atmosphere". Upon arriving at Thornfield Hall, governess Jane Eyre begins to unravel the mysterious secrets of the house and its master. In the process, she finds herself through honesty, courage and sacrifice. An emotional, moving performance piece with extraordinary moments of theatre.
