Over the next several weeks, Symphony Space hosts several NTLive screenings of National Theatre stage productions from London. Sally Cookson’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” strays from the 1847 novel but with a cast that includes Madeline Worrall, Felix Hayes, and Melanie Marshall creates what New York critic Andy Humm, in Manhattan Express’ sister publication Gay City News, has called “an engrossing play… [that] has tremendous theatrical and emotional coherence and resonance.” Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater, 2537 Broadway at 95th St. Jan. 17 & 27, 7 p.m.; Jan. 20, 1 p.m. Tickets are $24; $22 for seniors; $16 for those 30 & under at symphonyspace.org. On Jan. 27 & Feb. 16, 1 p.m. & Feb. 6, 6 p.m., Symphony Space screens the new Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s production of “The Winter’s Tale,” starring Branagh, Judi Dench, Tom Bateman, Jessie Buckley, Hadley Fraser, and John Dagleish. “Pulling off ‘The Winter’s Tale’ is a high-wire act, and Branagh and company succeed in an auspicious start to their season,” wrote critic Humm.
