The Pursuit of Happiness and more

Today is the day, the first episode of the, slightly announced on this blog, new BBC production of Jane Eyre. But today, Sunday 24 September, there are other Brontë-related alerts around:

We have a recital of poetry with music. With Emily Brontë's among others.

The Pursuit of Happiness
Dates: 24th Sep 2006 : Players Theatre, Thame, Oxon

Description: Jenny Agutter with Jeremy Polmear (oboe, cor anglais and alto sax) and Diana Ambache (piano)

Experiences of happiness are explored in words and in music. Jenny Agutter reads from Shakespeare, Emily Bronte, Roger McGough, William Blake, Oliver Postgate, Iain Banks and others. Jeremy Polmear and Diana Ambache play from Purcell, Bach and Mozart to Ravel, Cole Porter and George Gershwin.

And we have also a very special performance of LipService's Withering Looks that is currently on tour.

Special, because it will be performed in Haworth itself, as a part of the Radical Brontës Festival. Check the time... Hmph, the attendants will have to set their videotapes !

Withering Looks

Tickets are £10 (adults) / £6.00 (children) and should be booked in advance. Ticket price includes admission to the Brontë Parsonage Museum on the day of the performance.
West Lane Baptist Centre, Haworth
