Half Brontë, half Molière

That's the way in which Barbara Melhman, the reviewer of The Poughkeepsie Journal, defines the last Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway production "The woman in White", the musical adaptation of Wilkie Collins' novel.

More Bronte, less Moliere
"Woman in White" should have been more "Wuthering Heights," you know, heavy Bronte, but instead it's half Bronte and half Moliere and if I remember my history correctly, the French and Brits don't like each other very much.

We are trying to imagine what exactly could be a combination between Brontë (we suppose the reviewer means Emily, but who knows?) and Molière. It's not an easy task. Heathcliff meets Tartuffe or Argan comes to Wuthering Heights? We are open to suggestions ...
