Brontë in Liverpool: review

The play Brontë is touring England and getting numerous reviews - all of them praising it and its originality. icLiverpool reviews the play and lets us know even more details about it:

Set in the tiny parsonage at Haworth, the set from designer Angela Davies is uncommonly large, the first act design including 10 huge windows behind which smoke sometimes swirls.

The three sisters are well delineated, Emily (Diane Beck) slightly unhinged, Charlotte (Fenella Woolgar) rather snooty and Anne (Catherine Cusack) boyish.

In what seems a mere moment, their books are published and much praised. In an equally short time scale, the brothers and sisters start dying, curiously held in the arms of one of their fictional characters.

This play does sound one of the best recent Brontë-related productions so we keep encouraging BrontëBloggers to go and see it :)

EDIT: at BrontëBlog we swear that this afternoon that review was much more enthusiastic, and not as bad as it now is. Honest. And still we stand by our last sentence.
