'I must have action! And if I cannot find it, I will make it.' Jane Eyre may be poor, obscure, plain and little, but she has heart and soul - and plenty of it. Chris Bush's witty and fleet-footed adaptation lays bare the beating heart of Charlotte Bronte's classic novel, whilst staying true to its revolutionary spirit. With actor-musicians, playful doubling, and a plethora of nineteenth-century pop hits, it was first produced at the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough, and the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme, in 2022, directed by Zoe Waterman. 'One of the UK's most exciting young playwrights' The Stage 'A writer of great wit and empathy' The Times
