Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other became known as the third sister. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one… Anne. Although they are united as women scorned by the establishment, there’s also fierce competition between them: the ambitious but overbearing Charlotte, who claims writing as “her” thing; the hot-tempered yet prolific Emily; and the initially meek Anne who actually has the boldest ideas and a passionate social conscience. This is not a story about well-behaved women. This is a story about the power of words, about sisters and sisterhood, and about love and jealousy. Sarah Gordon’s raucously funny new play upends the ever-enduring yet constantly contended myths surrounding the Brontë sisters in her irreverent retelling of the sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to fame
