The elegant and beautiful story of the governess whose faith, will and perseverance overcomes all of her earthly faults and failings and instills in her a quiet courage that makes her "brave enough for love" returns to Masquerade in a new and improved fashion - allowing us to stage the Houston Premiere of Jane Eyre for the second time! Enjoy again the timeless story of plain Jane Eyre's growth from orphaned student at the Lowood School to governess for the ward of the enigmatic and passionate Edward Fairfax Rochester, and the all-consuming love that grows like a fire between the two. An all-new script and score by Paul Gordon (Emma, The Front) and John Caird (Children of Eden, Les Misérables) featuring new dialogue and songs as well as retaining favorites like "Sweet Liberty", "My Secret Soul", "The Finer Things" and "Brave Enough For Love" will stir your senses and lift your heart to the very highest heights!
