‘Jane Eyre’ at Drew
An encore screening of the National Theatre’s London production of “Jane Eyre,” adapted from Charlotte Bronte’s novel, will take place Saturday at 7 p.m. at Guild Hall. Sally Cookson’s production, hailed by The Financial Times as “witty, impassioned, and bold,” was first staged by the Bristol Old Vic last year before moving to the National.
“Jane Eyre” follows the emotions and experiences of its title character, including her growth to adulthood and her love for Mr. Rochester, the Byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The heroine faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice, and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.
Tickets are $18, $16 for members.
