Jane Eyre: the Well Dressed Governess
Reference Library, 6:30pm

The tale of Charlotte Brontë and her fictional heroine - both women of passionate intensity - is here retold and brought to life through the deceptively genteel fashions of the 1840s. If you enjoyed Undressing Mr Darcy at last year’s festival or Jane Austen’s Christmas here in November, you’ll be sure to enjoy this one too.

EDIT: Another theatrical alert from Glasgow's West End Festival. The Brontës are featured in this production:
