'Jane Eyre'
by Charlotte BrontëWe are delighted to be bringing this famous novel on tour for the first time. We have condensed the story into less than 1½ hours with use of imagery, music, narration but most of all fine acting.
Jane is obviously the main character but we encounter many others along the way in a flowing story in which all the characters come to life. With vibrant and strong language Charlotte Bronte takes us on a magical journey through which we see Jane Eyre's life. In thrilling and descriptive text Bronte clearly describes Jane Eyre's tragic journey. Growing up she has a sad life, from the death of her parents to her abusive cousin. Her influential school years both as a student and teacher then onto Thornfield, a Manor House, where she meets Mr. Rochester. She falls in love with him and is to marry but her life takes a rapid turn. Can this be Jane's chance for happiness or is she set for another fall?
The adaptation (by Mark Jowett) can be downloaded here. Rochester is played by Ryan Jones. These are some of their past and future performances:
Lycée Chanzy, Charleville-Mézières, France (Novembre 2009)Categories: Jane Eyre, Theatre
Les élèves étaient nombreux, ils ont apprécié le spectacle et ont applaudi le baiser de Jane Eyre. Le moment d’échange avec producteur, metteur en scène et acteurs fut fructueux.
Several images of the performance here.
Lycée Boucher de Perthes, Abbeville, France (December 1, 2009)
Un petit vent de romantisme est passé au lycée ce mardi avec la représentation en anglais, de Jane Eyre, une pièce adaptée de l'oeuvre célèbre de Charlotte Brontë.
Ryan, Sarah et Lorna respectivement du Pays de Galles, de Sheffield et Birmingham ont offert une représentation de qualité aux quelques 200 élèves rassemblés dans l'auditorium. Une heure trente d'anglais et une petite plongée dans l'Angleterre Victorienne pour des élèves attentifs et intéressés.
La troupe de la London Production Company venait de St Omer et se dirigeait vers Dinan dans l'après-midi. Leur tournée couvre la France, la Suisse et l'Italie et nous leur souhaitons autant de succès dans ces différents pays qu'à Abbbeville. (Biface)
Centre Culturel de Pont-du-Cassel, (January 13, 8:30 PM)
Le mercredi 13 janvier, à 20h30, la Maison de l'Europe avait programmé, au centre culturel de Pont-du-Casse, une très belle pièce «Jane Eyre», tirée du livre de Charlotte Brontë, publié le 16 octobre 1847 en Angleterre. Le centre culturel était au trois-quarts rempli pour admirer cette pièce interprétée par des acteurs et actrices anglais, ce qui est une grande réussite.
Les spectateurs avaient pris la précaution, pour la plupart, en lisant la pièce en anglais, afin de mieux s'imprégner, non seulement, de l'atmosphère de la pièce, mais aussi du vocabulaire, de l'accent et du timbre de ces comédiens pleins de talent.
Vraiment une formidable soirée offerte par la Maison de l'Europe, aussi bien culturelle que linguistique. (La Depeche). Also on Sud Ouest.
Montbéliard Espace Victor Hugo, Montbéliard, France (January 22, 7:45 PM)
Les Amis du mai anglais proposent, demain vendredi à l’Espace Victor Hugo, une pièce tirée du roman de Charlotte Bronté : « Jane Eyre ». À la fois roman d’amour et histoire gothique, cette pièce autour d’une histoire d’éducation a connu en grand succès dans l’Angleterre de la moitié du XIX e siècle. Cette pièce sera donnée dans la langue de Shakespeare. (L'Alsace)
Cité Scolaire de Briey, Briey, France (January 26, 2010, 2:00 PM)
Herderschule, Gießen, Germany (February 19 ?)
Es ist schon Tradition, dass englische Tourneetheater das Schulleben der Herderschüler bereichern. Nach den Aufführungen des "White Horse Theatres" für die Mittelstufe, hatten die Oberstufenschüler Gelegenheit, einen Klassiker der englischen Literatur auf der Bühne zu erleben, als die London Production Company unter der Leitung von Chris Alders mit einer Bühnenadaption von Charlotte Brontës Roman "Jane Eyre" die Zuschauer beeindruckte.
Mit großem Interesse verfolgten die Schüler und ihre Englischlehrer das Geschehen um das Schicksal der Gouvernante Jane Eyre (hervorragend gespielt von Sarah Scott), dem düsteren, geheimnisvollen Gutsbesitzer Mr. Rochester (Ryan Jones) und der Haushälterin Mrs.Fairfax (Lorna Jones, die souverän mehrere Rollen übernahm).
Den drei Schauspielern gelang es durch ihr eindrucksvolles Spiel und der verständlichen Sprache, ihr Publikum zu begeistern. Musik und Videoeffekte, das Bühnenbild, trugen dazu bei, das Leben im viktorianischen Zeitalter, in dem gesellschaftliches Ansehen, Standesunterschiede, schwierige Liebesbeziehungen, düstere Anwesen, hinter deren dicken Mauern sich Geheimnisse verstecken, den Zuschauern näher zu bringen. Im Anschluss an die Aufführungen gab es die Gelegenheit, mit den Schauspielern ins Gespräch zu kommen. Die Thematik des Stückes kam zur Sprache, aber die Schüler erfuhren auch einiges über den Werdegang und Berufsalltag eines Schauspielers, über die Schwierigkeiten, monatelang auf Tournee zu sein. Beeindruckt zeigten sich die Gäste über das große Interesse und die sehr guten Englischkenntnisse der Herderschüler.
