Brontëites in theatre and music

Singer Beck Siàn confesses to her interests in a recent interview:

And so many of my interests are here - I love castles, history, stately homes, ghost stories, Jane Austen and the Brontes. I'm really in my element.

Meanwhile actress Frances O'Connor - who played Fanny Price in the 1999 version of Mansfield Park - talks about her dream role:

And while her costume-drama credentials are impeccable, the perfect big-screen, contemporary piece has eluded her. But she has no qualms about being typecast: her dream role would be Emily Brontë.

It is not our intention to be rude but it would look like she has - erm -
outgrown the role.
