Jane Eyre on stage, in a new ballet

Shanghai Grand Theater has teamed up with Shanghai Ballet to create a ballet version of the British literary classic Jane Eyre (pictured) for the 14th China Shanghai International Arts Festival. German choreographer Patrick De Bana has been invited to direct the dance drama, and stage and costume designer Jerome Kaplan to create the theater design. The play will focus on the tangled love story between Jane Eyre, Mr Rochester and his demented wife Bertha. The playwright Yu Rongjun decided to make Bertha, "the madwoman in the attic", visible to the audience.

7:15 pm, Nov 18-19. Shanghai Grand Theater, 300 Renmin Avenue, Shanghai. 021-6386-8686.
