Jane Eyre is a haunting retelling of the Charlotte Brontë classic about an orphan girl who grows up to become the governess of Thornfield Hall. There she meets and falls in love with the enigmatic Edward Rochester, an Earl with a dark secret. Having overcome the obstacles brought on by an abusive childhood, the death of a childhood friend and the prejudice inherent in a relationship between two people socially worlds apart, Jane marries Rochester. Her wedding day is marred when she discovers his dark secret.

The musical will be directed by US Theater teacher Nathan Wheeler, a fourth year faculty member at St. Margaret’s.
