Daniel Elihu Kramer, well-known for our popular production of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, returns to Columbus and Available Light for a romantic deconstruction of another beloved Jane.
Why is Jane Eyre so beloved? What has the novel meant to readers in the past? What does it mean now? How is Jane's story universal and how is it deeply personal?
Jane Eyre: A Memory, A Fever, A Dream faithfully enhances Charlotte Brontë's classic story. In this world premiere production contemporary voices (culled from AVLT's own interviews) relate personal experiences and memories of the novel, exploring the many ways readers see themselves reflected in this classic book.
And in the Brontë Parsonage Museum:
Lucy Worsley: If Walls Could Talk
The historian and broadcaster discusses the history of the home
Thursday 16 May, 7.30pm.
West Lane Baptist Centre, Haworth

As the first of a series of events to celebrate the historic redecoration of the Brontë Parsonage Museum, historian and broadcaster Lucy Worsley visits Haworth to discuss the history of the home: Why did the flushing toilet take so long to catch on? Why did medieval people sleep sitting up? Why did we once fear fruit? In this lively illustrated talk Lucy Worsley, presenter of BBC series'If Walls Could Talk', reveals some juicy, smelly and truly intimate insights into the history of domestic life.
