JANE EYRE Comes To The Rosemary Branch Theatre, April 17-May 5
Jane Eyre runs at the Rosemary Branch Theatre from April 17. Part ghost story, part Gothic romance, and part religious tract, this gripping new adaptation of a favourite classic remains faithful to the text. By combining Bronte's original dialogue along with the actual narrative, the book literally comes to life. Set in 1840's northern England, the early stirrings of feminism shine through the strict adherence to social hierarchy giving this venerated novel its iconic status.
Orphaned into an unloving household, subjected to poor treatment at a charity school, Jane Eyre emerges to seek her fortune unbroken in spirit and integrity. She becomes a governess to the ward of the enigmatic Mr Rochester, eventually falling in love with him and he with her. This story surpasses mere melodrama and illustrates a passionate and tenacious woman's search for a wide rich life.
The Rosemary Branch Theatre has a long tradition of presenting English classics re-worked and
adapted for their unique space. Cecilia Darker and Cleo Sylvestre have been joint Artistic Directors since 1996 and have consistently supported emerging theatrical talent in London.
