Opening tomorrow, August 2, at the Edinburgh Fringe:
Written and performed by Carly Polistina
Directed by Alexandra Brokowski
The Loft at PBH's Free Fringe @ The Outhouse Bar
From August 2nd through August 23rd, excluding Sundays, 3:45 PM
Brontë fanatic and aspiring New York City actress Anne Brauer is staunchly opposed to modern dating. The hook-up culture, blatant sexuality, and lack of commitment are simply not her speed. However, when she starts talking to fellow actor Graham Huntington, she finds herself caught up in a situationship of GOTHIC proportions.
The show is just like a musical except, instead of breaking out into musical numbers, Anne often breaks out into passages from Brontë novels.
This half rom-com, half period piece is for anyone who has ever begged the que
stion "Will he text me back?" It's for anyone who loves books and loves to laugh. All in all, this show is for everyone. (

The
Fringe description is similar, but not identical. It doesn't mention the
Wildfell Hall reference but returns to more familiar territory,
Jane Eyre:
A rom-com/period piece unlike anything else! While on her quest to become a working actor in New York City, Anne Brauer gets caught up in a situationship of gothic proportions. The will-they-won't-they of Jane and Mr. Rochester applied to ghosting, female friendship and the New York theatre scene. Much like in a musical where big emotions lead to musical numbers, in this show they lead to passages from Brontë novels. A can't miss show for any bookworm who has ever posed the question: will he text me back?
