As a child, Jane Eyre lives with her emotionally unavailable aunt and bullying cousin. Jane's only respite from their abuse is whatever she manages to hide in the attic-specifically, a bird guide and a doll. But when her cousin destroys the book and blames it on her, Jane is sent to the Lowood School, where her aunt hopes Jane will learn to behave. Jane, however, quickly befriends a fellow student, Helen, who passes to Jane her love of scripture and her faith in God. Jane's newfound strength and comfort in Christianity serve her well when Helen dies not long afterwards-and when, after years of teaching at Lowood, Jane realizes she won't find happiness there. Many days of travel bring her to a large and isolated estate called Thornfield. Jane assumes the role of governess to the master's young ward, and fully becomes part of the household.
But the mysteries at Thornfield keep Jane from growing complacent. Who is Thornfield's master, this Mr. Rochester, and why is he so rarely home? What are those sounds of hysterical laughter coming from a closed-off part of the house? And when will Jane finally find the liberty she's always longed for? In answering these questions, Jane finds herself experiencing a life she never thought was for her-but one she's destined to live.
This fall, Jane has embarked on yet another journey: this time, to Japan! In early September, the Nissay Theatre in Tokyo began performances of JANE EYRE, proving that audiences everywhere can connect with Jane's resilience, self-reliance, and strong moral sense.
