Jane Eyre
Thornton Wilder won the 1943 Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama for this work. He forecasts such movements as Theatre of the Absurd and improvisational theatre with this brilliant tale of the 5,000-year marriage of George and Maggie Antrobus. The play is simultaneously hilarious and poignant as the Antrobus family survives every problem imaginable. Wilder uses satire and storytelling expertise to celebrate the American family.
This musical is a faithful adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s stunning Gothic novel. Pop song composer Paul Gordon provides the music and lyrics for the script of John Caird (English-language translation of Les Miserables and Children of Eden) This powerful stage adaptation brings to life the dark romance of Jane Eyre and Edward Fairfax Rochester with a lush and memorable score. Whether you know the novel or you are new to the haunted moors of the Brontë sisters, this is a love story you may never forget.
