Conn Artists Theatre Company brings Charlotte Brontë's gothic romance to the stage, adapted by Nick Young and Ross Muir, with original music and songs.
Conn Artists Theatre Company bring Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre to Swindon Arts Centre on Friday 6 November, as part of their 'Play to the Crowd' series. It's a stage adaptation of the gothic romance, with the script handled by Nick Young and Ross Muir.
The production follows Jane Eyre's fight for freedom, happiness and a sense of belonging, tracing her journey from the cruelty of her childhood to the corridors of Thornfield Hall. It's a story that spans a good chunk of her life, and this version brings it to the stage with original music and songs woven throughout. Conn Artists are producing it in association with Theatre Royal Winchester, so it's a touring production rather than a one-off local show.
As for the venue, Swindon Arts Centre is on Devizes Road in Old Town (SN1 4BJ). It opened back in 1956 as a Methodist Hall and has since grown into one of the leading live entertainment venues in Wiltshire; the building now also houses the South Swindon Parish Library, so it's a bit of a community hub as much as a theatre. If you're coming from outside the town centre, it's a short trip up into Old Town.
