Ashby Venture Theatre begins its presentation of Jane Eyre tonight (Thursday).

From the novel by Charlotte Bronte, this is a play adapted by Mark Jowett.

Jane Eyre is the story of one woman's fight to free herself of the oppressive conventions of Edwardian life and to live on her own terms.

Facing obstacles, she survives poverty, injustice and the discovery of a bitter betrayal before deciding to follow her heart.

Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre is arguably one of the greatest love stories of all time and continues to inspire writers around the world.
