Willis Hall – författare

Orphaned at an early age, Jane Eyre leads a lonely life until she finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr Rochester and sees a ghostly woman who roams the halls by night.

A study of three families - the Bertrams, the Crawfords and the Prices - in which Jane Austen uses the unlikely heroine, Fanny Price, to explore the social and moral values by which these families' lives are ordered.

Following his earlier adaptations of the novels "Jane Eyre" and "Mansfield Park" for Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, Willis Hall brings Dumas' swashbuckling adventure to the stage in a fast-moving tongue-in-cheek version. D'Artagnan, a poor, young Gascon gentleman goes to Paris to join King Louis XIII's musketeers, is befriended by three valiant members of that force - Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and shares their adventures, foiling the evil plans of Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter to discredit Louis' wife Anne and expose her love for the Duke of Buckingham. The play's structure is flexible so that it may be presented simply with the minimum of scenary and plenty of audience participation to give a "carnival-type" atmosphere.

The stories of Ratty, Toad and Badger.
