Jane Eyre
Genesian Theatre presents
Jane Eyre

4 Oct 2024 to 10 Nov 2024

In this new adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre (adapted by Ali Bendall),  we follow Jane’s story through her turbulent life. As her confidantes and friends, we “the reader” see firsthand her struggle for justice, freedom and independence, as she challenges the status quo, critiquing the prevailing norms and advocating for women's agency. 

Jane Eyre, small, poor and plain, but passionate, intelligent and with a strong moral compass, serves as our narrator and protagonist. Orphaned as a baby, Jane struggles through her loveless childhood - bullied by her only living relations, sent off to Lowood School - an institution for Orphans. Jane becomes an educated but restricted lady of Victorian Society. Finally, advocating for herself, she becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall where she begins to live, truly live. Here she meets someone who may be able to match her spirit, the brooding Mr Edward Rochester. But what secrets does Thornfield Hall hold? An entertaining take on the classic Gothic Novel, complete with romance, mystery and a Janean sprinkle of wit.
