Following the successful production of George Orwell's classic '1984' in 2022, the Playhouse Company is turning its attention to nineteenth century literary lives for its September 2024 production.
'Brontë' by Polly Teale (renowned for her work with Shared Experience in dramatising works of literature) focusses on the achievements and tragedies of the four Brontë siblings. The play comprises a montage of scenes which fuse their unhappy exterior lives with their passionate interior worlds as demonstrated in the sisters' famed literary creations 'Jane Eyre', 'Wuthering Heights' and 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall'.
'Brontë' is an imaginative telling of the Brontë family story. It is a must-see for devotees of the Brontë legend and for those who are encountering this singular world via the novels for the first time.
'Brontë' runs from 18th.-21st. September 2024 at the Playhouse.
Running Time: 140 minutes
This amateur production of “Bronte” is presented by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
