‘The focus on individual human rights is what really appeals to me about the book... Women wanting to be allowed to live the life that they want to live.’ - Sally Cookson
The Jane Eyre company chat about what we need in order to get the most out of life, Jane’s force and strength, the human rights that Jane pleads for, Rochester’s acerbic personality, and the process of devising the play from the novel.
Featured in the video are Sally Cookson (director of Jane Eyre), Tom Morris (Artistic Director of Bristol Old Vic), Madeleine Worrall (Jane), Felix Hayes (Rochester).

I loved Jane Eyre the first time I read it and this production brought the story beautifully to life. I loved the sparseness of the set which really brings into focus the drama and dialogue. The harshness of the story was balanced with some light touches of comedy. A masterful rendering of a masterpiece. Bravo!

Was watching and it went private in the middle! Thought it would stay on till midnight UK time.

I would gladly donate if I could see Jane Eyre! I didn't know it was only up for a couple days- on LA time and missed it. Any chance of playing it again? Thank you, National Theater, for these wonderful productions.

I thought that it would be available for a longer period. I missed it and I can't find it anymore. :(

I watched your Live filmed production of Jane Eyre a couple of months ago and am teaching an Introduction to Acting class this fall. I would really like to purchase a way for my class to watch this streaming at home. How would I go about that? I just LOVED this production so much. I would honestly like to purchase a copy for myself too. Is any of this possible?
