 Reviews

“Gripping and lucid... light on its feet... a brooding study of morality and desire” - Guardian

“Fluid, fast-paced and gripping... Does a fine job of preserving the key plot elements of Charlotte Brontë's original novel... Bush is particularly good at conveying the deep affection (and erotic charge) that exists between Jane and Rochester” - British Theatre Guide

“...the final scene is as moving as you could wish for” - Reviews Hub
