We have discovered on the
Deseret Morning News that Sister Helen Prejean (Susan Sarandon played her role in Tim Robbins' film Dead Man Walking) is a Brontëite:
Her favorite book of all time? "Jane Eyre," by Charlotte Bronte.
We also read some days ago in
Le Figaro another curious Brontë-connection in an interview with Woody Allen:
What are the last good plays that you have seen?
I have seen History Boys, a very interesting play by Alan Bennett, and Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet. It is quite strong. I think that I will attend Jane Eyre, I have heard it's ok.
We don't know if he was able to see it or not. At the time the interview was published, Jane Eyre was not performed, though.
And, of course news about Jane Eyre, the
BBC series. There are lots and lots of reviews in the blogosphere about Jane Eyre. Impossible to quote them all. You can check
Brontëana (with lots of pics),
BroadCastellan or
PennyforyourDreams (with lovely caps, as the one that illustrates this post) for instance, but if you google a little bit, you'll find dozens.
The third part of the production diaries by Diederick Santer is
now online, tomorrow will appear the next one.
