Jane Eyre: An Autobiography

Thu 08 Mar

Struggling to think, live and love beyond the stifling expectations of duty, class and convention, governess Jane Eyre and Master Edward Rochester take a dark journey towards sensual and intellectual liberation.

Told through Jane’s eyes, English literature’s most celebrated autobiographical novel shocked the Victorians, and Charlotte Bronte’s gothic subversion of fairy-tale romance is now distilled for the stage – under its full title – by writer/director Elton Townend Jones.

Performer Rebecca Vaughan embodies everywoman Jane – and several other characters – in this intimate study of love’s realities.

From the creators of: Austen’s Women, I, Elizabeth, The Unremarkable Death of Marilyn Monroe, The Diaries of Adam and Eve, Female Gothic, Christmas Gothic and Dalloway.

★★★★★”Hands down the best adaptation of Jane Eyre, in any medium.” (Broadway Baby)

★★★★★ “Truly extraordinary… one of the most exciting young performers on the British Stage” (British Theatre Guide)

★★★★★ ’A theatrical masterpiece” (Edinburgh Guide)
