The Vicar, the play and the adaptations

The Bolton News interviews Rev Oliver Preston who is the vicar of St Michael and All Angels Church in Haworth:

Rev Oliver Preston was previously working at the Hope Centre in Johnson Fold and moved to Haworth in West Yorkshire with his wife and children in July last year after he felt a calling to the role.
In his new role, Oliver oversees three churches in Haworth, St Michael and All Angels Church, St Gabriel's Church in Stanbury and Cross Roads-cum-Lees St James Church.

In 1820, Patrick Brontë, father of the renowned authors, Charlotte Brontë and Emily Brontë, accepted to living of Haworth and moved to the St Michael and All Angels Parsonage with his family.

There are estimated to be 42,000 burials in the graveyard, many of the graves from the time of the Bronte family hold entire families including a number of infants. (...)

“Because of the connection to the Bronte sisters, St Michaels attracts thousands of visitors and tourists, so how we welcome them is important.

"Haworth is a beautiful area so it attracts tourists, but this can make it hard to have a sense of local community – which is something we’re working towards." (Leah Collins)

Broadway World presents the premiere of the Bristol Old Vic-National Theatre production of Jane Eyre in the US. It will happen in Austin:

Austin Shakespeare will be the first American theater company to stage a new version of Jane Eyre, recently developed by The National Theatre of Great Britain and The Bristol Old Vic Theatre. It will run Nov. 9-24 at the Long Center’s Rollins Theatre with a low-priced preview Nov. 8. Regular tickets start at $28. 

rtistic Director Ann Ciccolella relishes the passion and madness of the classic novel. “We can’t wait to share this new version of Charlotte Brontë’s trailblazing romance,” she said. “Austin actors and contemporary live music bring a modern, Austin flavor to the classic story.”

Taylor Flanagan will portray Jane. She has performed in the Chamber Music Festival’s collaboration of The Tempest and was Jo March in a staged reading of Jo and Louisa; in shows at Hyde Park Theatre, Penfold Theatre, Ground Floor Theatre, Deaf Austin Theatre and ZACH Theatre. Tim Blackwood is the formidable, mysterious master of the house, “Mr. Rochester.” (Steph Wild)

/Film recommends some ghost films on streaming. Among them Guillermo Del Toro's Crimson Peak:

Playing out like "Jane Eyre" meets "The Haunting of Hill House," "Crimson Peak" finds Edith in serious danger and dealing with ghosts and other dark secrets. (Chris Evangelista)

The York Press recommends ghost stories and vampire thriller, like The Black Feathers by Rebecca Netley:

With a secluded house on the bleak Yorkshire Moors laden with secrets and full of enigmatic characters, The Black Feathers is an atmospheric Victorian Gothic thriller reminiscent of Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca and Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. This book exudes palpable eeriness and a pervasive sense of dread, making it an ideal autumnal read. 

Josephine Brady explores 'cancer literature' in the Irish Times:

When we feel imprisoned by despair and cut off from the world, the alchemy of great cancer writing releases us. It heals our despair. It restores the possibility of becoming, as was so perfectly expressed by Emily Brontë, “chainless souls”, with the strength to endure whatever cancer may have in store.
