For five performances only the Shanghai Ballet Company are set to make their highly anticipated UK debut with performances of Jane Eyre, an original, innovative ballet production based on Charlotte Bronte’s famous novel at the London Coliseum.
In a bold re-interpretation, choreographer Patrick de Bana’s production puts the character of Bertha Mason, Edward Rochester’s ‘mad’ wife, famously locked up in the attic for most of the novel, firmly centre stage along with her two-timing husband and the novel’s heroine, Jane Eyre.
The Jane Eyre cast includes I Pingping (Jane Eyre), WU Husheng (Edward Rochester) and FAN Xiaofeng (Bertha Mason).
