ACCLAIMED theatre company Shared Experience presents its award-winning production of Jane Eyre at the Malvern Theatres starting on Tuesday.

Polly Teale's groundbreaking production of the well-known story draws subconscious links between the traditional heroine Jane and Bertha, Rochester's mad wife.

The show was first staged by Shared Experience in 1997 and has since been on tour in the UK and Australia, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Ireland and the United States.

The company is also offering a post-show talk on Wednesday as well as a workshop on Thursday from 4.30-6.15pm.

Inside Out: Theatre Day will offer an insight into the working of Shared Experience.

The cast and creative team will show scenes, techniques and ideas used in rehearsals, as well as seeking feedback.

The workshop costs £12 including a ticket to the performance.

Jane Eyre will run at Malvern Theatres until Saturday, February 25.
