Emily with hangover

Chortle reviews the Grainne Maguire's show We Need to Talk about Bonnets ... quite explicitly:

Considering I began this show in a state of relative ignorance – I’ve read Jane Eyre but my knowledge of Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy and the Brontës is decidedly sketchy – you would have been hard pushed to convince me how much I’d ultimately enjoy this solo debut from Grainne Maguire. (...)
While the former primary school teacher still indulges herself playfully, playing a hungover Emily Brontë regretting a (relatively) lusty letter sent to the vicar, or trying stand-up as Lydia Bennett, her material on gender difference reflecting the massive sexual inequality of the time, there’s an occasional edge to her delivery now. Less a fond ‘reader, I married him’, more a blunt ‘he fucked me’. (Jay Richardson)

The Yorkshire Post talks about the future of Yorkshire-based films after the closing of the UK Film Council:

As the head of production at SY, [Hugo] Heppell has been a key player in making movies happen in the region. With filming recently finished on the television sequel of This is England and filming about to start on Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights, Heppell says commitments made to films about to happen will be fulfilled, but the future is less clear. (Nick Ahad)

In the Nashville Single Women Examiner the Brontë sisters are listed among other famous single women... forgetting that Charlotte Brontë eventually married Arthur Bell Nichols.

A student who has read Jane Eyre on Reading Eagle; Tales from the Writing Front includes Jane Eyre among her favourite heroines; A Vontade de Regresso posts about the author of that novel, Charlotte Brontë (in Portuguese); Fractured Fiction and Southern Disposition read (and were not particularly impressed by) Wuthering Heights; Un pouco de mim (in Portuguese) is more positive about Emily Brontë's novel.
