The iconic tale reimagined for its UK premiere.
“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”
This five-time Tony nominated musical retelling of Charlotte Brontë’s revolutionary novel makes its UK premiere.
A story of ambition and independence, gothic mystery and great passionate love, Jane Eyre has enchanted generations and is brought into the 21st century with this new production.
Accompanied by an epic sweeping score, prepare to see Jane, the first feminist literary icon, like you never have before.
Co-directed by John Caird, best known for international hit Les Misérables, and Broadway veteran Megan McGinnis, with music by Daddy Long Legs’ Paul Gordon.
