Jane Eyre
The Opera Club show for 2013 was ‘Jane Eyre : The Musical’ (in the week of 20th - 26th October). This was a new show, written in 2000 by Paul Gordon with the book by John Caird (of Les Miserables and Children of Eden fame).
Lynda Barrett-Mercer was Artistic Director for the show and we were delighted once again to welcome Jamie Cordell as Musical Director.
