The company under director Sally Cookson devised this theatrical adaptation originally in two parts for the Bristol Old Vic, but further work has reduced it to one part for the version at the National. it features Madeleine Worrall as Jane Eyre, with Felix Hayes as Rochester and Melanie Marshall as Bertha Mason. Craig Edwards, Laura Elphinstone, Simone Saunders and Maggie Tagney take all the other parts, supported by three musicians. The set is designed by Michael Vale.
