JANE EYRE CONVENTION To Play The Bread and Roses Theatre
Theatre Caddis will present the sell-out comedy at The Bread and Roses Theatre and Hope Theatre, Islington.
Double Fringe First winners Theatre Caddis are set to bring their comedy, Jane Eyre Convention to London this Summer, before a run at Edinburgh Fringe.
The show is set at the world's first ever Jane Eyre Convention, where we find a group of slightly neurotic Bronte-aficinados gathered to reenact scenes from their favourite novel.
As the group share their passion for all things Jane Eyre, they squabble and fight over the best bits, and conflict over authentic interpretations; also experiencing real emotions as they follow the character of Jane on her journey, including wailing running across the moors! More memorable scenes from the book are relived, as the group attempt to rescue shackled Bertha from the attic.
In this fast-paced farce, the enthusiasts feel that they gain new insights and a better understanding of the story of Jane Eyre, and potentially one another. The show promises audiences a funny, uplifting and quirky jaunt - with unrealistic violence, bonnets, and minimal raunch.
The show has enjoyed sell-out runs at Lambeth Fringe, and may appeal to Bronte fans who enjoyed the recent hype around Emerald Fennel's adaptation of Wuthering Heights.
Theatre Caddis is a London-based theatre company known for staging new, eclectic work, showcasing performances that blend humor, literary homage, and character studies.
Jane Eyre Convention is performing June 9-13 at The Bread and Roses Theatre, Clapham and will have another engagement from July 24-25 at the Hope Theatre, Islington. Tickets are available to purchase online from venue websites or box offices.
