Recluses. Spinsters. The short, troubled lives of
the Brontė sisters have become one of the great
literary myths of all time. How is it possible that
three women who had never been kissed, had never
traveled and were virtually unschooled write some of
the most passionate literature of all time? Living
among the desolate Yorkshire moors with their drug
addicted brother and distant father; Charlotte,
Emily and Anne invented scores of gruesome, violent
stories. Many of which remain bestsellers today.
Brontė
examines how three women who lived in an era when
females weren't permitted to enter a library could
have authored some of the most passionate and
popular fiction of all time. Brontė explores
the private lives of Charlotte, Emily and Anne in a
unique and intriguing way. It is an intermingling
of fact and fiction, reality and fantasy. It is a
startling portrayal and a sharp and sexy take on a
talented but cursed family.
Brontė
was developed by UK playwright, Polly Teale. Ms.
Teale is the Joint Artistic Director of Shared
Experience Theatre Company, which originally
premiered Brontė in 2005. Her other credits
