Jane Eyre

One of literature’s most famous romance novels, Charlotte Brontë’s revolutionary Jane Eyre was the first to focus on the moral and spiritual development of its protagonist through intimate first-person narrative. Gothic in mood and having a strong sense of Christian morality, it’s been considered ahead of its time for its treatment of class, sex and feminism -- together with Jane's remarkable, individualistic character. The play will feature Luisa Monteiro-Oliveira (’25) in the title role for her senior Capstone project, with costume design by Jessica Seabolt (’25) for hers.
