A lonely orphan girl finds love and passion in the face of hardship, but in the attic lies a dark secret....
From the director of last year's sell-out season of LITTLE WOMEN comes yet another stunning theatrical presentation of a classic and beloved novel – JANE EYRE.
Hidden between the musty pages of Charlotte Bronte's famous novel lurks a ripping yarn just waiting to be told on stage, with Polly Teale's adaptation bringing the gothic novel to raging life. This timeless coming-of-age story of one of literature's most independent and strong-willed women was recognized as a masterpiece when it was published in 1847 and remains a startlingly modern blend of passion, romance and suspense.
Jane Eyre is obscure and plain but locked up in the attic of her imagination lives a woman so passionate, so wild, so full of longing, she must be guarded night and day for fear of the havoc she would wreak. Who is this terrifying woman who threatens to destroy Jane's orderly world: a world where Jane has for the first time fallen in love? Harvest Rain's production transforms Bronte's great novel into deeply affecting psychological drama, featuring Queensland finest acting talent and award-winning design.
