4. NCPA Drama Jane Eyre

Date: Sept 29-Oct 6-7:30 pm

Venue: National Center for the Performing Arts

The silent piano, closed suitcase ... under the spotlight, Jane Eyre, in a long gray skirt, bursts into the still life-like stage. In the misty fog, standing outside the Thornfield manor gate, Jane Eyre unintentionally starts the fate engine of the people in this old manor. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of Jane Eyre, the English writer Charlotte Bronte, NCPA will once again stage the drama version of Jane Eyre, with famous Chinese actors Yuan Quan and Wang Luoyong playing the leading roles. The NCPA Drama Ensemble will also join this production.
