This weekend, you can enjoy The Chiltern Players production of Jane Eyre.
This is an abridged version by Willis Hall of the Charlotte Brontë classic – but still containing the emotional power and dramatic impact of the original 19th century masterpiece.
It features a large cast, most of whom are taking on dual, triple and sometimes quadruple roles.
The parts of Jane and Rochester, the penniless governess and her charismatic employer whose doomed passion are the centre of this Gothic tale, are performed by Serena Jones and Peter O’Sullivan.
Serena is pictured above right with some of the actors playing her servants.
