Our Young Rep Seniors take to the stage this July with Polly Teale’s bold and imaginative adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel Jane Eyre. This powerful retelling brings the emotional intensity of Jane’s journey vividly to life, revealing the passions and hidden struggles that shape her story.

As Jane grows from a lonely child into a determined young woman, she fights to define her own identity in a world that seeks to confine her. Teale’s innovative approach places Bertha, the ‘woman in the attic’, onstage as a living, breathing embodiment of Jane’s suppressed fears and desires – creating a striking and unforgettable theatrical experience.

With rich ensemble storytelling, atmospheric movement and compelling performances, our Young Rep Seniors illuminate a timeless tale of love, resilience and the pursuit of freedom.

A fierce, haunting, and deeply human reimagining of a beloved classic.
