Jane Eyre

By Erin Shields

“There is only one thing I can do now to keep myself intact; to rescue myself from giving in to this overwhelming love. Now I must think of myself.”

One of literary history’s great characters brought to life by one of Canada's most exciting playwrights. Jane Eyre explores a brilliant young woman’s rise to her own potential and the trials by fire that shape her views on love and loyalty. This World Premiere takes a sharp, witty, and modern feminist dive into Charlotte Brontë’s masterpiece in its romantic original setting.
