Published Reviews

"This show will definitely grab longtime Brontë fans and those inclined towards biographical dramas, but it’s also a great choice for any audience member interested in familial relationships, imagination, play, and creation in the face of loss. And even if Jane Eyre isn’t for you, this play just might be."

--Stage Raw

"We can all find something of our own lives in a play this good."

--NoHo Arts District
