Directed by 2025 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award-winner Lily Dyble

Based on Sally Cookson, Mike Akers and the original company’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s novel

One woman’s fight for a life that is worthy of her courage and a love that is worthy of her heart.

Orphaned as a young girl, the passionate and sensitive Jane longs to escape the clutches of her cruel aunt. Freedom beckons when she is offered the job of a governess in the house of the brooding and secretive Mr Rochester.
