Jane Eyre
Adapted by Polly Teale
Perth Theatre
March 4-20
performances at 7.45pm. Sat matinees at 2.30pm.
Kath Duggan plays Jane, Vanessa Cook plays Bertha, Vari Sylvester is Mrs Reed, Hywel Morgan is Brocklehurst, Kate Cooley, Rachel Entwhistle are Abigail and Bessie, Beth Duncan plays Adèle.
A classic coming-of-age story which remains a startlingly modern blend of passion, romance and suspense.
As a child, the orphaned Jane Eyre is taught by a succession of severe guardians to stifle her natural exuberance. A part of herself is locked away, out of view of polite society... until she arrives at Rochester's house as a governess to his young child. Soon Rochester's passionate nature reawakens Jane's hidden self, but darker secrets are stirring in the attic...
Polly Teale's critically acclaimed adaptation distills the powerful forces at play in Bronte's passionate novel to create an intense theatrical tour de force which bursts from page to stage with an almost dangerous life of its own.
