Jane Eyre

Lavish BBC adaptation of the much-loved Charlotte Bronte novel, starring Ruth Wilson as Jane Eyre and Toby Stephens as Rochester. Orphaned at a young age, Jane is placed in the care of her wealthy aunt Mrs Reed (Tara Fitzgerald), who neglects her in favour of her own three spoiled children. Jane is branded a liar, and Mrs Reed sends her to the grim and joyless Lowood School where she stays until she is 19. Determined to make the best of her life, Jane takes a position as a governess at Thornfield Hall, the home of the alluring and unpredictable Edward Rochester – where Jane’s journey into the world, and as a woman, begins.
