Wild windswept moors

Broadway World announces an upcoming performance of the musical Glass Town in New York:

"Glass Town," a rock requiem starring the Brontë siblings, will premiere in its workshop form at Brooklyn music venue Pete's Candy Store on Thursday, August 26th, at 8:30pm.
Written by Miriam Pultro and directed by Daniella Caggiano, the piece reimagines the literary siblings' childhood fantasy creation, Glass Town, as a contemporary indie rock band. This one-hour concert keeps the workshop cast intact, with Pultro as Charlotte (vox/keys), Katrien Van Riel as Emily (music director, vox/bass), Eddy Marshall as Branwell (vox/guitar), and Emma Claye as Anne (vox). They are supported by Matt DeMaria on drums, Laura Zawarski on violin, Anthime Miller on cello, and Alex Petti on guitar.
The workshop was produced in February 2021 by The Tank and The Center at West Park, and filmed on stage without an audience. (Stephi Wild)

Lauren Daly shares her reads in The Standard-Times:

I’ve been to 19th century Northern England with Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre.” I love the Brontë sisters, their wild windswept moors, their solitude and strong female leads. I fall in love with Mr. Rochester every time.

BuzzFeed lists books that reimagine classic literature, including the upcoming:

Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren J. Blackwood

What it's about: Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre is definitely having a moment these days as far as source material for literary reimaginings go, but as an Ethiopian-inspired fantasy? That's definitely a new and intriguing move. Here our Jane is Andromeda, a debtera who studied how to cleanse houses of the evil eye. But desperation gets the better of her when her mentorship is cut short before she can earn her license. She takes a job at the Rochester Estate despite the ridiculous list of rules and the absurd number of predecessors to her position. It's a hellish job with untold dangers that very well may take her down with it, and she should leave. There's just one problem: she's fallen for the Rochester heir who hired her. (Dahlia Adler)

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune also mentions retellings of classics:

Sometimes they want to turn a book inside out and present a different perspective — such as Jean Rhys’ “Wide Sargasso Sea,” which tells the story of Mr. Rochester’s first wife, the one who was hidden away in the attic in “Jane Eyre.” (Laurie Hertzel)

The Herald reviews The Magic Box by Rob Young:

In The Magic Box Young examines everything from costume dramas (Brideshead Revisited, The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Wuthering Heights) to folk horror (The Blood on Satan’s Claw, Witchfinder General, The Wicker Man). (Teddy Jamieson)

Alessio Porcu (Italy) reminds us of the Augusts of some (not so distant) times:

Ecco. A pranzo, una volta ci si accorgeva se qualcosa non andava. E la sera, a letto, non ci si perdeva nello smartphone. Ma si leggeva “Cime tempestose”.
Chiamatemi Brontë. Emily Brontë. (Rita Cacciami) (Translation)

SoloLibri (Italy) lists the cruellest characters in literature:

Non vorremmo poi dimenticarci di Heathcliff di Cime tempestose, scritto da Emily Brontë? Violento, rancoroso, senza scrupoli: manda alla rovina due case e due generazioni di personaggi pur di vendicarsi dei torti subiti in gioventù. (Serena Di Battista) (Translation)
