A curious new Jane Eyre adaptation with theatre and dance elements opens today in Irvine, CA:
Counter-Balance Theatre presents Jane Eyre August 31 at 8pm September 1 at 2pm and 8pm Fall Preview in Irvine, CA
Edison Theatre’s Ovations series at Washington University in St. Louis, MO 8 p.m. Friday, September 7 8 p.m. Saturday, September 8
Known for her stunning theatrical hybrids, Annie Loui brings her movement theater sensibilities to Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.
In this production, seven actors play all manner of characters, animals, architecture and furniture. The text is taken directly from Bronte's Jane Eyre. The medium through which the story is told is entirely contemporary, blending contact dance with minimalist design within a fusion of realism and expressionism that results in something entirely its own.
A sneak preview of the production can be seen here:
