Branwell and the Other Brontës

a bold, imaginative re-telling of the Brontë family legacy

An Exitleft signature presentation
Playhouse Theatre, Hobart, May 27 – June 1

“Gentle Reader, right now I am back in our father’s parsonage in Haworth, hampered among the never-ending nothingness of the moors. I stand in a tiny nursery-study. A place where magic can occur.”

Branwell Brontë has always been desperate to keep up with his brilliant sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. As the Brontë women’s stars begin to rise, Branwell uses the familial gift of storytelling to lead his siblings into magical worlds and cushion some of the harsh realities of their real lives, including Branwell’s jealousy over his sisters’ success. But when the magic of their stories begins to fail, Branwell and his sisters must fight to keep destruction and loss from seeping into the real world.

At a time when women were seen and not heard, the idea of three young women from one family gaining fame through their extraordinary writing has seen the legacy of the Brontës inspire readers for nearly two hundred years. This fresh adaptation by Stephen Kaplan ties together their poignant fantasy worlds with the reality as a family of struggling artists coping with fame, jealousy, loss and love pulling at the threads of their family bond.
