Orphaned as an infant, young Jane Eyre has known a lifetime of cruelty. First at the hands of her tyrannical Aunt Reed and then during her education at a dreary charity school for impoverished children.
Yet through it all, she yearns for something greater – a life free from the expectations and restrictions of poverty and girlhood that have shackled her. As Jane exclaims, and the chorus echos, “I am no bird, and no net ensnares me. I am a free human being with an independent will. I am!”
Join Jane on her eponymous journey into young adulthood, as she crafts an independent life that she can be proud of. Faithfully adapted by Dr. Davey, Charlotte Brontë’s rich and remarkable novel takes center stage and sparkles with new life, love, and energy.
