Underdog. The Other Other Brontë Sister

by Sarah Gordon

Directed by Kim Strassburger

October 5, 2026 at 7pm

Schulman Auditorium, Carlsbad City Library

Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other became

known as the third sister. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one… Anne.

This is not a story about well-behaved women. This is a story about the power of words. It’s

about sisters and sisterhood, love and jealousy, support and competition. Sarah Gordon’s new

play 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.
