A play vividly evoking the lives of the Brontës

Three actresses, in modern dress, are discussing the Brontës and their work. As they don their costumes, they assume the identities of Charlotte, Emily and Anne. A revealing story, which moves back and forth in time, it attempts to show the difficulties the writers had in their private and literary lives. Some of the characters from their novels also appear occasionally to add to the mystique of the family. Their poor health lead to the untimely deaths of the sisters and their brother, Branwell, who also features in this modern yet historical drama.

Patrick, Rochester & Helgen – Andrew Higson
Charlotte – Parissa Zamanpour
Anne – Portia Dodds
Emily – Amy Harris
Branwell, Heathcliffe – Anthony Morris
Bertha, Cathy – Marcella Hazel
