Orphaned Jane Eyre overcomes her early abusive and lonely experiences to become an accomplished governess at Thornfield, the mysterious home of Mr. Rochester. She is drawn to the master of the house, but their future is destroyed by a secret from his past...a secret that also forces Jane to flee Thornfield into poverty and illness.
Eventually, Jane is able to find family, wealth, and love, but not without a cost. Though faithful to the original story, this adaptation also focuses on Jane's gradual ability to shed the ghosts of her past to become a fully realized person.
KinkADE Underground is an opportunity for our advanced acting students to create an Actor Driven Event (minimal sets, minimal lights, minimal costumes) while working on more thought-provoking literature that challenges both actor and audience to critically think about issues.
