TRANSPLANT by Alexis Schaetzle.
A woman gets a dead man’s heart. And then she falls in love with him.
Workshop Production – Free Admission
May 30 / June 1 / Riffe Center Studio One – MORE INFO

Adapted by Daniel Elihu Kramer
From the novel by Charlotte Brontë
Directed by Acacia Duncan

Daniel Elihu Kramer, well-known for our popular production of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice, returns to Columbus and Available Light for a romantic deconstruction of another beloved Jane.

Why is JANE EYRE so beloved? What has the novel meant to readers in the past? What does it mean now? How is Jane's story universal and how is it deeply personal?

Jane Eyre: An Autobiography faithfully enhances Charlotte Brontë's classic story. In this world premiere production contemporary voices (culled from AVLT's own interviews) relate personal experiences and memories of the novel, exploring the many ways readers see themselves reflected in this classic book.
