Dear Jane

This award-winning theatrical story about Jane Deans is set in the evocative heritage venue of Riccarton House. Travel back in time to meet ghosts of the past.

NO Productions Theatre Company and Riccarton House present a special season of the award-winning play 'Dear Jane' to celebrate the 200th birthday anniversary of Jane Deans. It is an imaginative take on Jane's story as she emigrates from Scotland to New Zealand to follow her fiancé John Deans, one of the first Canterbury settlers.

This fascinating tale is closely entwined with the history of Riccarton House. The House was built under the supervision of Jane Deans herself, and the show will be performed in its Fine Dining Room. As twilight falls on the beautiful mansion, the audience will travel back in time to meet the ghosts of the past.

Directed by the play's author Nataliya Oryshchuk, 'Dear Jane' will be performed by three professional Christchurch actors, offering a high-quality immersive theatre experience.

Audience strictly limited, four nights only.
