Event Description

Underdog: The Other Otther Brontë, which ran to much acclaim at the National Theatre in 2024, is about the Brontë sisters – Charlotte, Emily, and Anne – three novelists whose uneven fame has survived the test of time.

Told in a contemporary, ‘tongue in cheek’ style, this new play dives into the difficulties of women in being taken seriously as writers in the early 19th century. Society had a very rigid view of the roles of women, and being novelists was not within that realm.

It is a very intimate look at three remarkable women living in a time that made their otherness stand out uncomfortably. Underdog is a fascinating examination of the three Brontë sisters and their short lives, their struggles and successes, and Charlotte’s strong will to succeed above all else.

This is not a story about well-behaved women but about the power of words. It’s about sisters and sisterhood, love and jealousy, support and competition.
