BRONTE A Portrait of Charlotte August 4, 2012

'BRONTE A Portrait of Charlotte' is an award-winning biographical treatment written by William Luce, based on correspondence between Charlotte and her childhood friend and confident, Ellen Nussey. The play takes place in the course of a single day, on Charlotte's arrival home at Haworth, after burying the last of her siblings, her beloved sister Anne. She is faced with the daunting possibility that love might never find her, that she will never find time to write again and that she will remain a self-incarcerated prisoner in the bleak parsonage at Haworth caring for her aging father. Through it all, we gain insight into the brilliance of the woman, her timeless sense of humor and the sadness of a life that had endless possibilities.
