(Full length) A fresh new take on the Brontë sisters, intertwining Charlotte Brontë's two years as an unpublished woman at a Belgian school--where she becomes close to her married male tutor/employer--with her friend Mrs. Gaskell's struggle to salvage Charlotte's posthumous reputation and trailblazing novels. In Victorian England, the books of recently deceased author Charlotte Brontë are now widely banned for being too passionate. Gaskell intends to prove that Charlotte was innocent and her reclusive life, blameless--but when an alarming letter arrives from Brussels, Gaskell feels forced to investigate just how much of Charlotte's novels--including the bestselling but scandalous JANE EYRE--was based on her own life. A play about love, friendship and the making of art and identity.
