Jane Eyre

A show written and performed by Tanya Landman, who says: 'I cant remember the first time I read Jane Eyre she has always seemed to be part of my life.

Growing up, I returned to the novel over and over again as a comfort read.

I adored Jane and saw myself in her even though we were separated by more than a century.

She was plain, like I was.

As a child, adults disliked her the way many of them disliked me.

She simmered with righteous fury, as I so often did.

But she was also quietly strong and self-possessed and had a sense of her own worth that I could only aspire to.

And - on top of all that - it was such a good story! Cruelty, starvation, sickness, death, disaster, romance, horror Jane Eyre had it all.'
