Drama Jane Eyre, which was premiered at NCPA in June 2009, was the first interpretation of Charlotte Bronte's classical novel of the same name on the stage of drama in China.
On the evening of April 13th, Chinese actor YUAN Quan dressed in a long gray skirt stood outside the gate of Thornfield Hall, with a suitcase in her hand. The classic love story was thus unfolded.
As Jane Eyre came out with the classic lines,“Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! - I have as much soul as you, - and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you!”, every spectator was stricken by the strong dramatic tension.
Jane Eyre’s childhood was staged in flashback via “stage montage” each time she suffered from emotional disturbance, which greatly enriched the character’s image.
Over the past eight years in the previous 14 rounds, WANG Luoyong’s interpretation and sculpting of Rochester made him the life and soul of this drama.
YUAN Quan and WANG Luoyong gave profound and vivid expression in their pursuit of love and exploration of independent personality from their first meeting to the final departure.
At the end, when Jane came back to Thornfield Hall and found Rochester blind, the theme tune of this drama was heard again, and the audience present were deeply moved.
