Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Instead of going deeply into the plot, I will simply say that this is about Jean Rhys' obsession and identification with the character of Mrs. Rochester from Bronte's Jane Eyre. This is one of the most amazing plays I have ever been exposed to; I have seen MANY plays, perfomed by many talented casts, and the only other play to make as strong an impression on me as this is Williams' The Glass Menagerie. However, if you have not read Wide Sargasso Sea or Jane Eyre, it may be a bit hard to follow. Also, the emotional gravity that can so succesfully be conveyed in live performance, is hard to perceive through text. So, even though it is a powerful read, it is even more powerful to watch being performed. If you everget the chance to see this emotionaly arresting play, take the opportunity, because you will regret it otherwise.

Jean Rhys was obsessed with Jane Eyre—and more particularly with Bertha Mason, the first Mrs. Rochester and the "madwoman in the attic." Placing Bertha on stage throughout as Jean\'s alter ego, Polly Teale\'s remarkable dramatization of Rhys\' life gives full vent to this obsession—which was to prove the catalyst for The Wild Sargasso Sea.
