Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
adapted by Polly Teale
directed by Gabrielle Soskin

LaChapelle
"I have come to see the novel as a quest, as a passionate enquiry. How is it possible for Jane, as a woman to be true to herself in the society in which she lives?"
These are Polly Teale's words. The response to her question is the basis for her imaginative and innovative adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's world famous romantic novel Jane Eyre. Polly Teale's powerful dramatisation shows. The struggle Jane experiences, torn between the repression of her innermost feelings and the desparate need to speak out.
Her creator, Charlotte Brontë, spent most of her life in a remote Yorkshire village. Yet, like Jane, she yearned to live beyond the limitations of her restricted horizons. It was this desire to express her emotions and dreams of fulfillment that led her, through the written word to create her literary masterpieces.
Persephone was proud to bring you our production of Polly Teale's exciting new version of Jane Eyre - A Montreal Premiere!
