Despite not being expected to write or read, the Brontë sisters created masterpieces that were originally published under male pseudonyms.
Kathleen Allen Special to the Arizona Daily Star It’s astounding that the Brontë sisters — Emily, Charlotte and Anne — ever wrote anything.
To make life harder for the sisters, they lived in an isolated part of England with their clergyman father, were always on the edge of poverty, and death and despair was all around them. People are also reading… “Brontë,” penned by English playwright Polly Teale, takes us into the home the women shared with their father and brother and jumps back and forth in time. We see them as children making up stories and games that fuel their vivid imaginations, as young women bitter about their sex’s lot in life, and as successful authors.
The trouble with this play is the script. Skipping back and forth in time made the story convoluted and confusing. Elizabeth Falcón was tasked with playing characters from the women’s novels, who appeared to underscore what the women were writing. You know, the free-spirited Catherine from “Wuthering Heights,” the mad Mrs. Robinson from “Jane Eyre.” The device was overwrought and kind of annoying.
