Dear Jane

By popular demand, NO Productions Theatre presents “Dear Jane”, a haunting play about early Canterbury settler Jane Deans performed at historic Riccarton House.

NO Productions Theatre and Riccarton House present a special season of the award-winning play “Dear Jane”.

It is an imaginative take on the story of Jane Deans who emigrated from Scotland to New Zealand to follow her fiancé John Deans, one of the first Canterbury settlers.

The story is closely entwined with the history of Riccarton House and will be performed in the Fine Dining Room of the house, built under the supervision of Jane Deans herself.

As twilight falls on the beautiful mansion, the audience will travel back in time to meet ghosts of the past...
