Synopsis: A beautiful intersection of art and family: the story of the three Brontë sisters: Charlotte, Emily, and Anne during the period in which they wrote masterpieces such as Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall. In moments of personal and financial struggle, with their reverend father sick and their brother wasting away, they learn to trust the stories within them. But, as ambitious women in the 1800s, their pioneering literary careers do not come without costs. This play premiered at the Stratford Festival In Canada in 2018 and will be receiving its American Premiere at Riverside Theatre.
