Jane Eyre by Cathy Marston

Choreographer Cathy Marston brings Charlotte Brontë's gothic novel to the stage as a ballet. The story follows Jane, an orphan who trains as a teacher and takes a post at Thornfield Hall, where her encounter with the enigmatic Edward Rochester leads to a love affair shadowed by a deep sorrow that threatens their happiness.

Marston is known as one of ballet's sharpest storytellers, and this production combines the intensity of a intimate chamber drama with the sweep of a full-scale narrative ballet. Jane's eventful life is brought vividly to the stage, with the novel's brooding atmosphere and its spirited, independent heroine at the centre.
