BOTH nights of Dyad Productions' visit to the York Literature Festival to present Jane Eyre, An Autobiography have sold out.
Rebecca Vaughan will perform a one-woman show, written and directed by Elton Townend Jones, in the York Theatre Royal Studio on Monday and Tuesday.
Struggling to think, live and love beyond the stifling expectations of duty, class and convention, governess Jane Eyre and Master Edward Rochester take a dark journey towards sensual and intellectual liberation in Charlotte Bronte’s gothic subversion of fairy-tale romance.
As told through Jane’s eyes, English literature’s most celebrated autobiographical novel shocked the Victorians and is now distilled for the stage – under its full title – by Townend Jones.
Performer Rebecca Vaughan embodies everywoman Jane – and several other characters – in this intimate study of love’s realities.
Dyad Productions creates, produces and tours classic theatre with an innovative and contemporary emphasis, and this stage adaptation of Bronte’s novel is Dyad’s eighth original production in as many years, premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe last August.
The company's past works were Dalloway; The Unremarkable Death Of Marilyn Monroe; Female Gothic; I, Elizabeth; The Diaries Of Adam And Eve; Christmas Gothic and Austen’s Women.
York Literature Festival 2017 presents Dyad Productions in Jane Eyre, An Autobiography, York Theatre Royal Studio, March 27 and 28, 7.45pm; both nights SOLD OUT.
