The last chance is quite some time to see live (Brontë or not) theatre in the UK. Blackeyed Theatre is performing their Jane Eyre production in Bracknell. The production will subsequently be available to stream on-demand throughout the autumn.

‘I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will’

Forced to close on 16 March as a result of COVID-19 (in the middle of a six-month international tour), Jane Eyre is brought back to the Wilde stage for two public performances by South Hill Park’s resident theatre company, Blackeyed Theatre.

Declared ‘a triumph’ (Susan Elkin, Sardines Magazine), ‘a remarkable piece of work‘ (Henley Standard), ‘utterly captivating’ (Bromsgrove Adverstiser) and ‘a dramatic milestone’ (Worcester News), Jane Eyre is a magical and inspiring theatrical experience.

A gothic masterpiece of tempestuous passions and dark secrets, Jane Eyre tells the thrilling story of an orphan girl and her journey from a childhood of loneliness and cruelty to a life at Thornfield Hall and an unlikely relationship with the mysterious Mr Rochester. Falling in love, she gradually uncovers a hidden past to the gloomy, forbidding Thornfield Hall, a terrible secret that forces her to make a heart-wrenching choice.

Don’t miss Blackeyed Theatre’s brand new stage adaptation of one of the greatest works of English fiction. Captivating, brooding and intensely powerful, Jane Eyre is a moving and unforgettable portrayal of one woman’s quest for equality and freedom, and lives as one of the great triumphs of storytelling.
