Spitfire personality

NY City Guide Examiner points to a great opportunity of getting tickets for Brontë. A Portrait of Charlotte for free:

Goldstar.com, the popular discount website is offering members (free to join on the Goldstar.com site) complimentary tickets to Brontë: A Portrait of Charlotte beginning May 24, 2012. The Ars Nova Building (511 West 54th Street) is hosting William Luce’s Tony Award-winning play.
The one-woman show stars Irish actress Maxine Linehan who captures Charlotte Brontë's unfailing sense of humor, spirit and resilience despite being raised in the repressive Victorian era. Theater and book aficionados will delight in Linehan’s portrayal as the star brings to life Brontë's courage and spitfire personality.
This summer head off Broadway and see the show that the LA Times has proclaimed as “an immaculate work of theater” and Variety calls “engrossing and entertaining.”
Come meet the real author of Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights as the Alloy Theater Company’s thought-provoking period piece will leave you with a deeper understanding of the strength and determination Charlotte Brontë displayed. (Amy Carothers)

If not for free, remember that BrontëBlog readers do have a discount.

Financial Times talks about the Waterstones-Amazon alliance:

Mr Daunt could at least have come up with an ereader better suited to his middlebrow customers, bound in scuffed leather, perhaps, and smelling of Ted Hughes’ pipe tobacco and Emily Brontë’s damp bonnet. (Jonathan Guthrie)
