Having been forced to shutter early due to the initial lockdown in March, Blackeyed Theatre are thrilled to announce the return of their acclaimed production of Jane Eyre.

The show will play for two public performances only on 3 & 4 November 2020 at Bracknell’s Wilde Theatre. It will then be available to stream online throughout the autumn season.

The cast of Jane Eyre includes: Oliver Hamilton, Kelsey Short, Camilla Simson, Eleanor Toms and Ben Warwick.

Based on  Charlotte Brontë's novel by Nick Lane, the production features original music by George Jennings, with direction by Adrian McDougall, musical direction by Ellie Verkerk, set design by Victoria Spearing, lighting by Alan Valentine and costumes by Naomi Gibbs.

Artistic Director of Blackeyed Theatre and Director of Jane Eyre, Adrian McDougall, said:  "Bringing Jane Eyre back to the stage at such a precarious time for the theatre industry is an important step for us. There's a real hunger among the cast and artistic team to get back to what we love doing, and among audiences for that shared live experience.

“We achieved it in September with Jekyll & Hyde and the feeling was extraordinary. It shows what can be achieved and the benefits to artists, audiences and venues. Investing in people by continuing to create in a sustainable way is more important now than it’s ever been. As an industry we all share that responsibility, because without the individuals who create the work, we’re nothing."
