This is how you adapt a novel

Several theatre news outlets tell about the 2018 Stratford Festival of Canada new season which includes:

Jordi Mand’s Brontë: The World Without delves into the story of the famous literary sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Directed by Vanessa Porteous, who directed Stratford’s 2014 production of Christina: The Girl King, the play is described as a “profoundly beautiful and detailed exploration” of the three Brontë sisters. (Bruce Urquhart in The Beacon Herald)

BelfastLive reviews the National Theatre's Jane Eyre performances in Belfast:

 Passionate and haunting, this modern interpretation of Jane Eyre is a masterpiece. (...)
Nadia Clifford is a superb Jane, growing on stage from a 'strange' child under the charge of Mrs Reed, to a woman discovering the pain and joy of love.
She may be tiny in stature but she gave such a powerful and passionate performance, it was clear to see by her demeanour at the final bow she had poured every emotion she had into the role. (...)
So whether you are a fan of the book, or have never picked it up before, let yourself be swept away in this haunting, heart-breaking yet beautiful production of a classic.
This is how you adapt a novel for the stage. (Sarah Scott)

The New York Times goes to the Astana World Exhibition 2017:

Jetting into Astana’s airport, I of course had visions of exotica. Kazakhstan! Nomads! Genghis Khan! What I actually found, of course, were broad boulevards full of cars, jazz bars and Burger Kings, people walking through parks with their children eating ice cream, waiting for buses, shopping for potatoes. Bus stops displayed the covers of classic novels (“Jane Eyre,” “The Last of the Mohicans”), which could be downloaded to phones on the spot for reading while waiting for the next bus. (Ed Zuckerman)

The Southland Tales (New Zealand) on menopause in literature:

Open any 19th-century novel and there's a woman of a certain age, by turns monstrous and comic, taking to her bed, loosening her stays, quaffing her laudanum. Look at Mrs Bennet in Pride and Prejudice, locked inside her high anxiety and lack of purpose, Lady Bertram in Mansfield Park, passed out on the sofa for reasons unexplained, Jane Eyre's Bertha Mason, roaring away in the attic at Thornfield Hall. (Frances Wilson)

The Island (Sri Lanka) reviews the film Swaroopa 2014 by Darmasena Pathiraja:

The younger couple, Greta and her nameless fiancé, could point to something meaningful, with their affirmation of life at the end, but even here, the lingering sadness of Gregory’s insect body that has vanished into the garbage truck, predominates. The final push comes with the gravestone and Emily Brontë’s words in the epitaph, juxtaposing life and waste. (Sivamohan Sumathy)

Critics Alex Clark and Kevin Jackson on BBC Radio 4's Front Row goes for Villette as a much more better book than Jane Eyre.
