Cedarville University
Sept. 29-Oct. 9
DeVries Theatre

Directed by Diane Conrad Merchant

This new adaptation of the beloved Gothic novel imaginatively incorporates haunting visual images, dreamlike memories and innovative staging. Orphaned Jane Eyre overcomes her lonely and abusive childhood to become an accomplished governess for Mr. Rochester’s ward at mysterious Thornfield, a place with dark and terrifying secrets. Her psychological journey allows her to triumph over the oppression of the Victorian era, in a script that Chicago Magazine called “a tide of loving and sure storytelling that treats its audience with reverence and respect.”

A bitter family feud. A pair of star-crossed young lovers. In William Shakespeare’s ROMEO AND JULIET, the long-standing contempt between the Montagues and the Capulets leads to tragedy for Romeo and Juliet. Only in death do they reconcile the differences between their two families. The Thomas More College Villa Players are pleased to present this literary classic.
