Almost 170 years on, Charlotte Brontë’s story of the trailblazing Jane is as inspiring as ever. Sally Cookson’s bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfilment on her own terms. From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine faces life’s obstacles headon, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.
This acclaimed re-imagining of Brontë’s masterpiece was first staged by Bristol Old Vic in 2014 and remounted as a coproduction with the National Theatre in 2015.
