Reviews
'Even in what is fast becoming a very strong opening season from Rufus Norris at the National, Sally Cookson's staging of Jane Eyre still stands out.' * British Theatre Guide *
'The book has been filleted cleverly... Inventive, moving and at times unexpectedly funny, this is an admirable piece of devised theatre.' * The Express *
'clever, touching, minimalist yet expansive... makes you see entire new possibilities in theatre. I recommend it with a roar' * Daily Mail ????? *
'Cookson and her company stripped Charlotte Bronte's novel down to its bones; what was left was plot and emotion... the magic, the passion, the raw pain is allowed to remain intact.' * Culture Whisper *
'Newcomers and Bronte-holics alike will be gripped, amused and moved by a boldly theatrical show.' * The Times *
'Sally Cookson's production is full of wit, resource and invention.' * Michael Billington, Guardian *
'This is a production full of intelligent detail... Original, engaging and unexpectedly funny... an adaptation that Charlotte Bronte herself might have approved.' * Telegraph *
'A continually absorbing achievement.' * Telegraph *
'A remarkable performance of startling modernity and unaffected honesty.' * Guardian *
'A vivid two-part adaptation that combines powerful drama and unexpected humour.' * Financial Times *
