AFTER MRS ROCHESTER
WRITER POLLY TEALE DIRECTOR ANGIE LANGFIELD DESIGNER ANGELICA RUSH
ROYAL CENTRAL SCHOOL OF SPEECH AND DRAMA
A story told through the memories and madness of author Jean Rhys.
The room she has locked herself in journeys to Dominica, Paris, London, Vienna and Germany between 1889-1957.
Drawn from suitcases, cupboards and boxes, props and possessions emerge to set each scene.
As we pass through the decades, costumes guide us visually through time.
Shadows dance across the calico walls shattering the documentary nature of her self- incarceration - the stretched fabric heightening her sense of insanity.
