The Brontës (Charlotte, Branwell, Emily, and Anne) created such masterpieces as “Wuthering Heights” and “Jane Eyre.” However, it’s in their own private fantasy worlds, with clear rules, invented when they were children, that they find their most inspired outlets. As Branwell lays on his deathbed, they escape often and with urgency and change the rules to avoid the inevitable and try to keep both him and these cherished worlds alive. The play explores the pain and necessity of creation in the face of destruction and loss, and how misogyny contributes to the downfall of a family.
