About

In the face of the isolation and abandonment of a loveless childhood, Jane Eyre refuses to bend to the will of her abusers. But does she achieve the independence and equality that she craves, and does her resistance change anything?

Hailed as a "brilliantly engaging piece of drama" and "a theatrical tour de force", Live Wire and Roughhouse Theatres' inventive exploration of the status of women in society make this critically acclaimed dramatisation as relevant today as Charlotte Bronte's original novel was 178 years ago.
