National Theatre Live’s acclaimed London production of “Jane Eyre” will be screened at San Juan Community Theatre on Friday, Jan. 8 at 7 p.m.

This re-imagining of Charlotte Bronte’s masterpiece was first staged by Bristol Old Vic in 2014, when the story was performed over two evenings. Director Sally Cookson brought the celebrated production to the National Theatre Live, presented as a single, exhilarating performance on Dec. 8.

This bold and dynamic production uncovers one woman’s fight for freedom and fulfillment on her own terms. From her beginnings as a destitute orphan, Jane Eyre’s spirited heroine (played by Madeleine Worrell) faces life’s obstacles head-on, surviving poverty, injustice and the discovery of bitter betrayal before taking the ultimate decision to follow her heart.

London’s Daily Mail called the production: “Enchanting. Magnificent. Theatre at its most imaginative.”

Tickets for “Jane Eyre” are $20 for adults, $18 for theater members and $10 for student reserved. Due to a financial agreement with the Met,no theater coupons are accepted for these productions. Tickets are available online or at the SJCT box office at 378-3210.
