Jane Eyre is a novel often considered ahead of its time due to its portrayal of the development of a thinking and passionate young woman who is both individualistic, desiring for a full life, while also highly moral. This theatrical version features a pre-dominantly female cast in a non-naturalistic setting.

Directors: Ms Annie Fiume and Mrs Sarah Merry
By Charlotte Brontë. Adapted by Polly Teale.
