Description
The turbulent lives of the Brontë sisters are dramatised in this compelling literary detective story. In 1845, Branwell Brontë returns home in disgrace, his addictions bringing chaos to the household. As he descends into alcoholism and insanity, his sisters write, their fictional characters coming to haunt their creators. Polly Teale's play evokes the real and imagined worlds of the Brontës, a powerful exploration of the complex relationships within the family. The production, which premiered in 2010, is a testament to the enduring power of the Brontës' stories. Shared Experience, the team behind After Mrs Rochester and Jane Eyre, bring their expertise to this dramatisation, creating a visually-charged production that sheds new light on the Brontës' lives.
