About the show

The iconic tale reimagined for its UK premiere.


From creatives John Caird (‘Les Misérables’ (RSC,West End and International), ‘Children of Eden’ (West End and International)) and Paul Gordon (‘Daddy Long Legs’, ‘Pride & Prejudice’), this musical telling of Charlotte Brontë’s revolutionary novel makes its UK premiere.


Jane Eyre’s journey, from cruelly-used orphan to independent womanhood, centres on the dark and beautiful Thornfield Hall and its owner, the mysterious and conflicted Edward Rochester. Here Jane is caught up in a web of secrets and lies, physical and moral danger, self-doubt, betrayal and heart-breaking loss. How she restores herself, through inner strength, self-knowledge and forgiveness, gives this passionate story the most moving and uplifting resolution.


Charlotte Brontë’s romance, derived from her own life story, is imbued with her own brand of fervent protofeminism, but also has elements of the gothic and the supernatural. These complexities and ambiguities are brought to vivid life in the figure of her heroine, the vulnerable, witty, lovable and indomitable Jane.
