Theatre Caddis • Semi-professional company
About the show
Jane Eyre Convention is a comedy theatre show by Theatre Caddis, a semi-professional company, performed at Just The Snifter Room during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. At the world's first ever Jane Eyre Convention, slightly neurotic fans gather to reenact their favourite novel — squabbling over the best bits and correct interpretation, running wailing across the moors, and attempting to rescue shackled Bertha in the attic. Audiences follow Jane on her full journey, gaining new insights along the way. The show contains unrealistic violence, bonnets and minimal raunch, and audience participation is optional. It runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 12 and over, and tickets are £15.
Why see this show?
A comedy that puts obsessive Jane Eyre fans at the centre — bonnets, moor-wailing, and all — and finds genuine emotional insight within the reenactment. Optional audience participation and a snug venue make this an appealingly intimate and witty evening for anyone with a fondness for the novel.
