Event Description
This summer, the talented young actors of the Malvern Theatres Young Company return to the stage with Brontë, Polly Teale’s powerful creative reimagining of the extraordinary and turbulent lives of the Brontë sisters.
In 1845, their brother, Branwell Brontë, disgraced and consumed by addiction, returns to the family home. As his descent into alcoholism and madness threatens to overwhelm the household, his sisters Anne, Charlotte, and Emily strive to keep their world together, finding escape and resilience in their writing.
In this enthralling literary detective story, writer Polly Teale examines the fractious bonds between the Brontë siblings and the fierce creative drive that would leave a lasting legacy in English literature. First performed by the acclaimed Shared Experience theatre company fifteen years ago, Brontë offers a compelling insight into the complex relationships, passions, and ambitions of three of Yorkshire’s most celebrated writers.
Directed by local actor Toby Burchell, this ambitious new production allows the talent and spirit of Malvern Theatres’ own vibrant Young Company to shine.
