WORLD PREMIERE

A struggle to survive. A romance with dark secrets. Two love affairs—Jane and Rochester, and Jane and her readers. The sweeping drama of Charlotte Brontë’s beloved novel Jane Eyre is given a contemporary twist as the story of Jane’s journey from Victorian hardship to independence and happiness works its magic on people today. A moving look at how deeply a book can affect readers nearly two centuries later.

Featuring three-time IRNE Award-winner Maureen Keiller as Ella and Norton Prize honoree Will Lyman as God.

REGIONAL PREMIERE

April 3, 1968. In a drab room at the Lorraine Motel, an exhausted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wants two things; a cup of coffee and a cigarette. What he gets instead is Camae, a brash, irreverent maid on a mission of her own. Their banter quickly turns into something more mysterious and profound, forcing Dr. King to confront his legacy as a leader and a man. Winner of London’s 2010 Olivier Award.
