Conn Artists Theatre Company stages Charlotte Brontë's gothic romance 'Jane Eyre', adapted by Nick Young and Ross Muir and directed by Young.
Conn Artists Theatre Company bring Jane Eyre to the Taliesin Arts Centre on Wednesday 4 November, as part of their Play to the Crowd season. It's a new staging of Charlotte Brontë's gothic romance, adapted by Nick Young and Ross Muir and directed by Young. The story follows Jane from the cruelty of her childhood to the corridors of Thornfield Hall, where she finds passion, dark secrets and a love that overcomes every obstacle, all set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors.
On stage, an ensemble of five actors takes on the roles, with original music and songs woven throughout. The production is noted for staying close to the novel and for its ensemble storytelling, and it's a set text for WJEC A/AS Level English Literature and for GCSE on the AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas boards. It's recommended for ages 12 and up.
Conn Artists are working in association with Theatre Royal Winchester on this one, and they're no strangers to the bigger stages: the company has worked with the RSC and the Connaught Theatre in Worthing, and Jane Eyre follows their recent adaptation of Far from the Madding Crowd.
