BBC Media Centre highlights some of its projects connected to Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
Suzy Klein, Head of BBC Arts and Classical Music TV says: “I’m proud to support our partnership with Bradford UK City of Culture with a series of our BBC Arts programmes to showcase the area’s rich cultural history.
“From Bradford born Vinette Robinson’s star turn in The Read’s Wuthering Heights, partly shot on location on the Yorkshire Moors, to spotlighting some of the brilliant people behind the scenes for the launch in Bradford’s Big Bash, and the Big Tasty Read – another important campaign we’re running with the Reading Agency and Bradford Literature Festival to support the nation’s hunger for great books.”
Also BBC Radio Leeds featured the Brontë Parsonage Museum and the Brontës' Christmas as part of their Advent calendar.

Broadway World announces that JANE/EYRE will be on stage at Buntport Theatre, Denver, in January.
JANE/EYRE, the first full-length show from Denver’s Grapefruit Lab, is an exploration of Charlotte Brontë’s classic novel Jane Eyre — with original songs by Teacup Gorilla and Dameon Merkl (Lost Walks, Bad Luck City). Adapted by author/musician, Miriam Suzanne, and local director/performance maker Julie Rada, the hybrid play/concert takes a dark and often humorous look at the early feminist novel — bringing a contemporary, queer perspective to Jane’s story. 
Performances run Friday, January 17th - Saturday, February 1st, 2025 at Buntport Theater. Tickets go on sale January 1, 2025. All tickets are name-your-own-price. Credit online or cash at the door. [...]
Don’t believe the hype about Mr. Rochester, this story is much more than one romantic plot-point. “The novel has a defiant attitude from page one of the preface, refusing to be set aside” says Miriam Suzanne, who plays in the band and narrates as an older Jane, looking-back on the action. “Brontë and Jane don’t just have a story, they have an agenda.” Julie Rada plays Brontë on stage, as she and Jane create the story together — or despite each other. Denver actress and BETC company member, Lindsey Pierce, plays Jane in-the-action, with Joan Bruemmer-Holden, company member with Boulder’s The Catamounts, providing all the additional characters, from Rochester to several women “friends” that Jane also considers living with in the novel.
