Jane Eyre By Charlotte Bronte
Adapted & Directed by Michael McCaffery
Charlotte Bronte’s love story with a difference takes an unconventional heroine – the plain, unremarkable governess Jane Eyre – and charts her growth to passionate, independent womanhood as she pursues her dream of marrying the man of her choice – the mysterious and tempestuous Edward Rochester.
JANE EYRE is a story of love and madness, passion, retribution and self-fulfillment. Set against the tumultuous landscape of the Yorkshire Moors, this Victorian masterpiece of mystery and suspense is also a highly personal account of one woman’s victory over the prejudice and discrimination which face her and thousands like her.
Acclaimed and decried in equal measure when it first appeared, JANE EYRE was quite literally, a sensation. Its outspoken attitude towards society, religion and sex was revolutionary, while the rich mix of melodrama, Gothic horror and tempestuous romance makes for a theatrical tour-de-force.
Mysterious, sensual, secretive, brutal—and often humorous, JANE EYRE is part psychological study, part fairy tale. Featuring some of Ireland’s most exciting emerging talent, City Theatre Dublin’s new adaptation draws on a variety of theatre and performance styles to bring this powerful, vital drama to life onstage. Adapted and directed by Michael McCaffery, follows the company’s acclaimed version of WUTHERING HEIGHTS.
