Ghosts of Tropes

Theatre Weekly, Broadway World and StageChat announce that the London Hope Theatre production of Jen Silverman's The Moors (on stage next October) already has a cast:

The Hope Theatre has announced the cast for their forthcoming production of award-winning American playwright Jen Silverman’s The Moors, with all six performers graduating from drama school training since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Inspired by the letters of Charlotte Brontë, The Moors is a gripping Gothic tale about isolation, ambition, and the struggle to be seen. Part of the theatre’s Autumn season, this will be the first professional production of The Moors in the UK and is directed by the theatre’s artistic director, Phil Bartlett. Meredith Lewis (Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama) plays the role of Emilie, with Imogen Mackenzie (RADA) as Agatha and Kenia Fenton (Birmingham Conservatoire) as Huldey. The role of Marjory will be played by Tamara Fairbairn (Fourth Monkey), with Peter Hadfield (Drama Studio London) as the Mastiff and Matilda Childs (London College of Music) completing the cast as the Moor-Hen.

British Theatre Guide also reveals another cast, the one for the Courtyard Hereford's production of Polly Teale's Jane Eyre also in October. 

Natalie Spence will play the title role and Matthew Canny will be Mr Rochester in the Courtyard Hereford’s production of Jane Eyre in October 2022. (Steve Orme)

Polygon loves the new season of  the D&D's RPG show Dimension 20: A Court of Fey & Flowers:

Several other players have also cited “repression” as key to their character creation. Omar Najam’s “constantly smoldering” secret-dork Andhera comes from a fascination with the “ghosts of tropes” — citing not only Austen but later 1840s novelist Emily Brontë, author of Wuthering Heights. (Em Friedman)

A good slogan for a new local bookstore in Dublin as published by Dublin People:

“Whether you’re young or old, looking for Charlotte’s Web or Charlotte Bronte, our door is always open for those living in the Liberties area or from further afield.” (Padraig Conlon)

This columnist of the Northside Sun is moving to another town. He enumerates the people he leaves behind and makes a sweet Brontë reference:

 Jim’s granddaughters, Charlotte and Emily, who one day will render the Brontë sisters irrelevant, make periodic show-stealing guest appearances.  (William Jeanes)

Another reference appears in this column of the Wayne County Journal-Banner:

For some, it is the blank page. And for that, what is often mined is the human heart. British novelist Charlotte Bronte, of Jane Eyre fame, believed that organ “has hidden treasures.” (Rick Mansfield)

Gulf News shows pictures of the recent Yorkshire trip of the Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and  His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai;

The British moorlands have been depicted in classics like Wuthering Heights and Hounds of the Baskervilles as bleak, windswept and foreboding. But, as the heather bursts into flowers at the end of the summer, the moors turn into a carpet of purple, as far as the eye can see. (Evangeline Elsa)

East Bay Express is eager to see at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the Wise Children production of Wuthering Heights:

Acclaimed director Emma Rice and her new company, Wise Children, return to Berkeley Rep with her latest “wildly imaginative theatrical experience,” says their website. Rescued from the Liverpool docks as a child, Heathcliff is adopted by the Earnshaws and taken to live at Wuthering Heights. He finds a kindred spirit in Catherine Earnshaw and a fierce love ignites. When forced apart, a brutal chain of events is unleashed. Rice “reimagines Emily Brontë’s gothic masterpiece with live music, dance, passion, hope and a dash of impish irreverence, creating an intoxicating revenge tragedy for today,” says the theater. (Janis Hashe)

The Indian Express has a weird idea to explore, what if spiders dreamt like humans?

Yes, yes, yes! It seems to be working. Her hairs are no longer fizzing. Her eyes have that glazed woozy look of a girl in love — smitten. I think she loves me! Here I come, my love! Am I a Casanova or Don Juan or Heathcliff or Romeo or what! Take that you scoundrels! I’m on my way! (Ranjit Lan)

Puliwood (Hungary) reviews the film After: Ever Happy:

Ami izgalmasabbá teszi a történetet, az az irodalmi vonal, ami átszövi az egyes részeket. Főhőseink ugyanis, szemben az "átlagos" tinifilmek karaktereivel, kedvelik Jane Austent, Bronte-t és Hemingwayt, mi több, előszeretettel idéznek kedvenceiktől és merengenek a tőlük olvasottakon. (Ordódy Eszter) (Translation)

Magyar Hang (Hungary) reviews the novel Mrs. England by Stacey Halls:

A szerző remekül használta fel történetéhez az előképeket, a Jane Eyre, A Manderley-ház asszonya és A csavar fordul egyet című művek nőalakjait. (Makrai Sonja) (Translation)

O Segredo (Brazil) lists 'the best' period films:

 O Morro dos Ventos Uivantes (2011)

Os amigos de infância Heathcliff e Cathy atravessavam pântanos enevoados e morros varridos pelo vento, mas quando adultos, o amor deles logo se mostra mutuamente destrutivo. Humilhado pelo irmão de criação, Heathcliff se torna um homem rico e vingativo, ao mesmo tempo em que nutre um grande amor por Cathy, que é irmã do homem que deseja matar. (Sandy Cunha) (Translation)
