Underdog in Stroud

A new amateur production of Sarah Gordon's Underdog. The Other Other Brontë Sister: Cotswold 

Underdog. The Other Other Brontë Sister

by Sarah Gordon

Cotswold Playhouse 

Directed by  Kate Jackel

September 22- September 26 

Lizzy Leach as Charlotte, Florence Simpson as Emily and Sophia Hines as Anne, with James McGrath as their brother Branwell.

This is not a story about well-behaved women...

This is a story about the power of words.

Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other became known as the other Brontë. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one…

Anne.

Loud, funny, and heartbreaking, Underdog is an irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the Brontë sisters, and the story of the sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to fame. 

Written by Sarah Gordon for the National Theatre and Northern Stage, the play premiered in 2024.
