Bronte by Polly Teale     16th – 18th November 2017

It is 1845. Branwell Brontë returns home in disgrace. As their brother descends into alcoholism and insanity, bringing chaos to the household, the sisters write… Brontë beautifully evokes the real and imagined worlds of the Brontës, in a production in which their fictional characters come to haunt their creators.
