Reviews
“This rendition of Jane Eyre offers a unique and beautifully-performed interpretation that will have audiences rooting for the steadfast heroine.”
— Broadway World
“Shields’ play is sparkling and at times quite funny, whether through character quirks, Eyre’s hilariously blunt exchanges with Rochester, or even just the spectacle of a man wearing a rubber horse head while dutifully neighing.”
