Bronte
By Polly Teale
Featuring Artistic Associates Greg MatthewAnderson and Linda Gillum
Presented March 20 — May 4, 2008
This inventive drama, originally developed by the U.K.’s acclaimed Shared Experience Theatre Company, examines the lives of three of the most studied and discussed writers of all time. Spurred by their brother’s tumultuous personal life, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë write from their remote home on the Yorkshire moors. The real and the imagined collide as the characters the sisters have created come to life. Polly Teale’s Bronte explores the question of how a trio of Victorian spinsters could have produced some of the most passionate literature ever written.
