By popular demand, NO Productions Theatre Company present the 2025 Heritage Festival season of Nataliya Oryshchuk’s award-winning play “Dear Jane” to celebrate the remarkable story of Jane and John Deans in the magnificent setting of Riccarton House.Born in 19th-century Scottish Riccarton, Jane decides to marry John Deans, one of the first Canterbury settlers. The story of their intermittent 10-year courtship, marriage and emigration is based on real-life events and 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 beautiful Fine Dining Room. As twilight falls on the beautiful mansion, the audience will travel back in time to meet ghosts of the past...
Described as “captivating,” “seamless,” “deeply moving,” and “magical”, the production is directed by playwright Nataliya Oryshchuk and features a stellar Christchurch cast: Annette Thomson, David Allen, and Charlie Grubb.
Limited audience capacity – five performances only.
Tickets $40/$25 - book at https://events.humanitix.com/dear-jane-2025
