“I rose with the dawn. I wanted to see Mr. Rochester…wanted to hear his voice.”

A landmark in the history of English literature. Jane Eyre, a simple governess, wins the heart of Edward Fairfax Rochester, the brooding and mysterious master of Thornfield Hall. Questioning the boundaries of class and gender, it is one of the most heartrending and powerful tales of romance and suspense ever told. Alan Stanford, who brought us last year’s stunning production of Oscar Wilde’sSalome,directs a cast of 17 in his own highly successful adaptation of the classic novel.

Directed by Scott Wise
