150 years ago there was no place in the world for intelligent, educated women. When the Bronte sisters published their books, they had to use male pseudonyms. Award-winning playwright, Polly Teale, takes us into the two worlds of the Brontes: the drab, unvarying world of Victorian spinsters & the vibrant, passionate world of their imagination. When their brother, Bramwell, returns, he brings violence & tension into the home. The sisters take refuge in their writing & their fictional characters become part of this moving & tragic story.
