The Bronte Solution

by Stuart Hoffman

It’s hard to be a struggling writer. Especially one with a successful older sibling and a difficult teenaged daughter to boot. But Vivian is willing to take what she’s been given in life and find inspiration wherever she can.

    Hoffman always does his homework with his pieces, and this one is no different - my brow furrowed at some of the references, making a mental note to learn more about things with which I'm less familiar, like the Bronte sisters, George Sand, Lovecraft.. Additionally, as the daughter of a woman with three very close sisters, the dialogue here felt so real to me. It is quick, cutting in a way only family can get away with, very real, and with an undercurrent of love when it matters.

    I, like many other writers, am a big fan of the Brontes. It's no surprise the trio of writers in this play are as well. But each character is very distinct and developed. I love the relationships and the way they poke at each other. I seriously think this play deserves to be full length! I want to see more about Bettina's struggle to be a writer as well as Vivian's struggle with self doubt. But I especially want to see the story leading up to how, the supposedly successfully published writer, Angie, ended up moving in with her sister!
