Speaking ahead of the performance, scriptwriter Laura Turner said, “It’s been a privilege to adapt Jane Eyre following on from last year’s production of Wuthering Heights.

“Jane Eyre is not only an unforgettable love story it is a tale of a young woman’s coming of age.

“There is something about Rochester’s passion and Jane’s determination and self-preservation that stays with readers.

“I hope our Jane Eyre will stay with audiences in the same way this summer.”
