Bronte
A Drama by Polly Teale
Monday 22 - Saturday 27 March 2010
150 years ago there was no place in the world for intelligent, educated women. When the Bronte sisters published their books, they had to use male pseudonyms. Award-winning playwright, Polly Teale, takes us into the two worlds of the Brontes: the drab, unvarying world of Victorian spinsters & the vibrant, passionate world of their imagination. When their brother, Bramwell, returns, he brings violence & tension into the home. The sisters take refuge in their writing & their fictional characters become part of this moving & tragic story.
