JANE EYRE
3–19 October 2008
Starring Laura Hill as Jane, Matt Hudson, Malcolm Murray, Anna Herare, Amy Tarleton, Sia Trokenheim, Amy Straker and Nathan Rimell.
The production is directed by David Lawrence.
Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre is one of the most popular English novels of all time. It is a great love story between Jane, the intelligent and pure young governess, and her worldly employer, Mr. Rochester. Complicating the possibility of romance is Rochester’s mad wife Bertha who is living in the attic.
A saga laced with oppression, suspense, horror, and passion, the story centres on Jane’s journey to free herself from the societal expectations of her day. Polly Teale’s adaptation for the stage, offers a new and dramatic look at this wonderful classic tale. It has now been staged around the world enthralling audiences and critics alike. It will be such a treat for Dunedin audiences to see this wonderfully dramatic retelling of a great classic.
