And yet one more review on
Brontë, Polly Teale's play. This time we have it from the
Arts section of the Financial Times. It's very brief and it hardly says anything we haven't read before already. But perhaps the very beginning might be quite interesting since it defines the approach so as not to leave any doubts on what the play is about:
Polly Teale's new play for Shared Experience is not The Brontës, featuring the tribulations of three motherless sisters (and a brother) in a parsonage on the Yorkshire moors; nor is it Charlotte, Emily and Anne, a study of the sexual and intellectual frustration of 19th-century women. Rather, Brontëposes questions. Which Brontë will it be about? How did the Brontë legend begin? What made Charlotte and Emily transmute their experience into two of the most enduring works in English literature?We'd like to take the occasion to remind BrontëBlog readers that the play is on stage at
London's Lyric Hammersmith until November 26. So go and book a ticket!!
