The Yu Rongjun Jane Eyre adaptation returns once again to Beijing stages. It was premiered ten years ago, on June 2009:
CPA International Theatre Festival 2019
NCPA Drama Jane Eyre 
July 26-August 03, 2019
National Center for the Performing Arts, Beijing, China

Silent piano, dusty suitcase…Under the spotlight, Jane Eyre in a gray dress enters the stage like a still life painting. In the misty fog of England, the lady, standing outside the gate of Thornfield Manor, unintentionally starts the destiny engine of everyone in this ancient manor…
In June 2009, the NCPA drama Jane Eyre was premiered. This was the first version of this literary classic Charlotte Brontë on the Chinese drama stage, with famous WANG Xiaoying as director and YU Rongjun as playwright. Original poetry and agile stage vocabulary help tens of thousands of audiences immerse into the 160-minute performance to run through the whole storyline and be moved by true love again.
From the premiere in early 2009 to the sophistication in 2019, the drama has been not only presented at the NCPA for several rounds, but also has been invited to hold the spotlight at the Beijing People’s Art Theatre and National Theatre of China. National tour of Jane Eyre swept Shanghai, Chongqing, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Fuzhou and other places. Actresses YUAN Quan, CHEN Shu and ZHU Jie also dedicate the important time of their lives to this elegant, independent and strong-willed English woman.
The year of 2019 coincides with the 10th anniversary of the premiere of the drama Jane Eyre. As the first NCPA drama, Jane Eyre adds luster to the NCPA for over a decade. From July 26th to August 3rd, 2019, it will be presented once again in the form of the 10th Anniversary Commemorative Performance, with a view to reviving the classic and touching the people. Moreover, the NCPA Drama Ensemble, which has successfully presented many dramas by Shakespeare, will once again add a brilliant touch to this classic work.
