Jane Eyre ... Nicola Lannan
Charlotte Brontë’s haunting love story, first published in 1847, tells the story of a young governess thrown into a world of mystery, deceit, and adventure. The popular gothic romance has inspired countless BBC adaptions, television mini-series, and Hollywood films and numerous stage adaptions.
Join us for ours! Beautiful period costumes, 12 piece pit orchestra, haunting songs, large talented local cast of children through adults. A magnificent production which takes place in the comfort of the Fountain Performing Arts Centre at King’s-Edgehill School in Windsor.
The Hants Journal has more information:
“It is a classic,” said Toven MacLean, the director of Jane Eyre The Musical. (...)
“It's a romantic love story but it's got some gothic elements to it too,” said MacLean of the upcoming show.
She said the performance will last about two and a half hours, with one intermission. It's a show, she said, that is mainly suitable for teenagers and adults.
“It might be a bit long for kids, but it is appropriate for people of all ages,” she said.
The performers have been rehearsing since December.
“We're really excited about the collaboration process. It's nice for a community theatre to be able to work with a school and educate the students,” said MacLean. (Carole Morris-Underhill)
