Passion for all things Eyre

According to Winter is Coming, if you loved Outlander you need to read Jane Eyre:

Fans of Outlander will recognize familiar elements immediately: a passionate romance, gothic atmosphere, and a fiercely independent heroine. Jane Eyre even contains a subtle supernatural element: Jane and Rochester’s bond, despite being at times problematic and tragic, is tightly woven by a mysterious power–typical of gothic novels–difficult to detect, but impossible to ignore.

Jane’s unwavering emotional and moral equality in her relationships feels very modern and close to Claire’s worldview. Both women are passionate, loyal, steadfast in their beliefs, and possess an inner strength that makes them remarkable. If you empathize with Claire, you almost certainly will love Jane, one of literature’s great heroines. (Noelle Mazzoni)

Broadway World talks about the upcoming performances of Jane Eyre Convention at The Bread and Roses Theatre and Hope Theatre, Islington:

The show is set at the world's first ever Jane Eyre Convention, where we find a group of slightly neurotic Bronte-aficinados gathered to reenact scenes from their favourite novel.

As the group share their passion for all things Jane Eyre, they squabble and fight over the best bits, and conflict over authentic interpretations; also experiencing real emotions as they follow the character of Jane on her journey, including wailing running across the moors! More memorable scenes from the book are relived, as the group attempt to rescue shackled Bertha from the attic. (...)

Jane Eyre Convention is performing June 9-13 at The Bread and Roses Theatre, Clapham  and will have another engagement from July 24-25 at the Hope Theatre, Islington. Tickets are available to purchase online from venue websites or box offices. (Marissa Faith Curley)
