Shared Experience Theatre Company present their acclaimed production of Jane Eyre for a limited West End season.

Jane Eyre is poor, plain and unloved. But locked up in the attic of her imagination lives a woman so passionate and so full of longing she must be guarded night and day for fear of the havoc she would wreak. Who is this woman who threatens to destroy Janes orderly world? A world where Jane has, for the first time, fallen in love.

Jane Eyre is adapted and directed by Polly Teale from the novel by Charlotte Brontë. It was originally seen in London at The New Ambassadors Theatre for a one month season in 1999.

"Electrifying adaptation of Jane Eyre" The Daily Telegraph

"In Jane Eyre, adapted and directed by Polly Teale, superbly choreographed body language suggests the atmosphere and psychological landscape of the novel, its feel as well as its events... This is a big, stormy play, sometimes, like its original, rather over the top, but deeply in key with its inspiration and its subterranean anxieties. Teale and her actors have found a theatrical metaphor that sums up their vision and completes their play." The Sunday Times

"You feel you are looking into the heart of Bronte herself" The Times
