Jane Eyre
Synopsis:
Orphaned into an unloving household, subjected to poor treatment at a charity school, Jane Eyre emerges to seek her fortune unbroken in spirit and integrity. She becomes a governess to the ward of the enigmatic Mr Rochester, eventually falling in love with him and he with her. This story surpasses mere melodrama and illustrates a passionate and tenacious woman's search for a wide rich life. Part ghost story, part Gothic romance, and part religious tract, this gripping new adaptation of a favourite classic remains faithful to the text. the book literally comes to life with imaginitive staging and a cast of only six young professionals . Set in 1840s northern England, the early stirrings of feminism shine through the strict adherence to social structure giving this venerated novel its iconic status.

Pride And Prejudice
Synopsis:
With a delightful dollop of irony, the cast of seven magically multiplies to include all our favourite characters. Watch sparks fly between fine eyed Elizabeth and proud Mr. Darcy, sigh with sweet tempered Jane over affable Mr. Bingley, and raise your eyebrows as extravagantly silly Lydia meets her match in rakish Mr. Wickham. It's almost too much for Mrs. Bennet's nerves.

adaptation of Jane Austen's most popular novel
