The gods must have woken up today feeling benign. Not only does
Anne manage to step into the spotlight but also her father.
icCheshire also has an interview where Polly Teale reflects on, and praises, Mr Brontë:
'The way the sisters dealt with their predicament makes this such an amazing story. The simple answer to my question lies with their father, who was self-educated and a passionate believer in the transformative power of literature. 'He encouraged them to read widely. So, highly educated, intelligent, full of curiosity and hunger for life, they found themselves in a world with no place for them. They had to live through their imaginations.'Polly Teale sums up her feelings towards the Brontës at the end of the interview:
'It keeps drawing me back. The more I read about the Brontes the more I found their story irresistible, especially for the theatre. After all, this is a story of make-believe, of the power of the imagination to transcend time and place and circumstance, to take us to places we cannot otherwise go.'Categories: In_the_News, Theatre, Patrick_Brontë
