CHARLOTTE Brontë’s classic gothic tale of love, loss and redemption is one of the best-loved stories in English literature.

Now a new stage adaptation by the highly acclaimed Hull Truck Theatre company is coming to the Lighthouse in Poole from Thursday, February 7 for three days.

From a harsh childhood controlled by unfeeling adults, Jane Eyre has to rely on her own courage and convictions to make her way in the world.

She longs to learn and dares to dream. Employed as a governess, she travels across the bleak Yorkshire moors to the mysterious Thornfield Hall – a house of locked doors with a dangerous secret.

There she meets the strange, sardonic and intriguing Mr Rochester.

Rebecca Hutchinson will portray the titular character in Hull Truck Theatre’s production alongside Andrew Dowbiggin and Viktoria Kay.

This all new production has been adapted by up and coming playwright Laura Turner.

She told the Daily Echo: “It’s a privilege to be adapting Jane Eyre for this Hull Truck Theatre tour.

“I think the fact that Jane’s story is so rooted in the local Yorkshire landscape has made the project feel really right.

“I think at the centre of Jane Eyre is a dilemma we can all identify with: whether to follow our head or our heart.”
