Contemporary British dramatist Polly Teale’s post-modern play imaginatively depicts the lives of three sisters—plain and unwed—who defied social constraints and wrote themselves into immortality by penning the greatest romances of all time. Bronte delves into the relationships of three sisters compelled to write for different reasons, often at odds with each other, but ultimately, who inspired each other in literature and life. In this transformational play, Bronte revives our favorite heroes and heroines from Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and through an examination of these historic women considers what it means to be a woman today.
