Description
Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other became known as the third sister. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one... Anne. This is not a story about well-behaved women. It's about the power of words. It's about sisters and sisterhood, love and jealousy, support and competition. Sarah Gordon's new play is an irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the Brontë sisters, exploring the sibling dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to fame. A fresh perspective on a well-known story, this play sheds light on the lesser-known Anne Brontë, and the complex relationships between the three sisters.
