Overview

A Mercury Theatre Colchester, Rose Theatre Kingston and Storyhouse Chester production in association with Northern Stage and supported by a grant from The Royal Theatrical Support Trust

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me.” 

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.  

As intrigue turns to attraction, Jane finds herself drawn in by Rochester’s mercurial charm. But when the truth finally comes out, she will be forced to choose between the man she wants, and the woman she wants to be. 

Nearly two centuries on, Charlotte Brontë’s groundbreaking story is as thrilling and relevant as ever in this bold production directed by 2025 RTST Sir Peter Hall Director Award-winner Lily Dyble, based on Sally Cookson, Mike Akers and the original company’s trailblazing adaptation.
