“Orphaned at a very young age, raised in a home devoid of love, outspoken Jane meets her match when she is employed as a tutor for the ward of the wealthy and enigmatic Rochester. A love story full of gothic charm, secrets, ghosts, and happy endings, this is a classic period piece based on the best-selling 1847 novel by Charlotte Brontë,” said Gregory Mach, Director of Jane Eyre. The story follows Jane as she grows up, including her miserable childhood, working as a governess, and falling in love with Mr. Rochester.
