Opening today, June 29, in Chester, MA:Chester Theatre Company presents
My Jane
Written by: Daniel Elihu Kramer
Directed by: Knud Adams
A struggle to survive. A romance with dark secrets. Two love affairs—Jane and Rochester, and Jane and her readers. The sweeping drama of Charlotte Brontë’s beloved novel Jane Eyre is given a contemporary twist as the story of Jane’s journey from Victorian hardship to independence and happiness works its magic on people today. A moving look at how deeply a book can affect readers nearly two centuries later.
