Jane Eyre

With a deep love of theatre and dedication to nurturing local talent, Emma Watson has shaped this production into a powerful ensemble experience. Her creative leadership has fostered a supportive rehearsal environment where both performers and the story truly shine.

Fiona is no stranger to the stage, with Jane Eyre marking her 25th production at the Jetty Memorial Theatre and her second with Live Theatre. A passionate performer, her favourite roles include Belle (Beauty and the Beast), Maria (The Sound of Music), Mary Poppins (Mary Poppins), Miss Scarlett (Clue), Brooke (Legally Blonde), and Jellylorum (Cats). Offstage, Fiona works in Early Childhood Education and is thrilled to be living her “period drama” dream as Jane alongside this wonderful cast.

Marcus Daniel Nevin is delighted to return to the stage, having previously appeared in It’s a Wonderful Life (George Bailey), The 39 Steps (Richard Hannay), The Woman in Black (Actor/Young Kipps), Love’s Labour’s Won (Cpt Claude), and Pomona (Moe).

Chantel has loved theatre from a young age and can’t wait to play multiple characters (and dress up!) in this show. You may have seen her in Legally Blonde, Love’s Labour’s Won, Clue, and more, and when not on stage she’s usually reading or thinking of her cats.

Emily, passionate about folklore and storytelling, loves bringing multiple characters to life with as many costumes as possible. You may have seen her in It’s A Wonderful Life, Steel Magnolias, Love’s Labour’s Won, and Pomona, where she thrived on fast-paced ensemble work.
