Jane Eyre
Adapted by Elizabeth Williamson from the novel by Charlotte Brontë
Directed by Dawn Monique Williams
May 31 – October 11, 2024
Allen Elizabethan Theatre

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

One of the most beloved heroines in literary history shines bright in this production that infuses a classic Gothic Romance with the sound and feel of Southern Gothic. Orphaned as a child and raised by cruel relatives and cold schoolmasters, Jane Eyre embarks on a new life as an adult: working as a governess on a remote estate. But as she slowly falls in love with her moody employer, she discovers that he—and his home—are surrounded by dark secrets. With only her resilience and wits to guide her, how will Jane save her chance for happiness? Elizabeth Williamson’s fresh adaptation is directed by Dawn Monique Williams, who helmed our lush 2023 staging of Twelfth Night.
