Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other one 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 sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to  fame.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd, on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.
