This brand new show explores the creative journeys of the Brontë sisters and asks what it means to make art as a woman today. Exploring oppression, misogyny, coercive control and the spirit required to overcome them, this exciting new show reinterprets the words of the Brontë and opens the classic works to a brand new audience, finding echoes in their work that live on today. Live music, original songs, creative language and a new spoken word script will be influenced by interviews and workshops with women living and working in Yorkshire.
“Inventive, engaging and fast-paced. Loved your spoken word. I found the stories really intriguing and interesting and engaging.”
