←Recommendations of an autobiography edited by Charlotte Bronte

An absolutely stunning play full of fantastic roles, including many roles for women. I can only imagine how powerful this show is staged. Each line of Kaplan's dialogue is ripe with character and wit and charm. These are the kind of meaty roles that actors would love to dig into--and the story itself is tremendously unique, heartbreaking, and rings so true. But there is such a brilliance and light about the play--and perhaps that is because it is a story first and a theatrical experience second, which is probably how the Brontes would have wanted it. Highly recommended.

This play is a profound, witty, heartbreaking, cutting, and imaginative exploration of what it is to be a sibling, and what it is to be a creative. An uncanny weaving of Brontë trivia and history with the familiar bickering of sibling rivalry gives this play a familiar yet completely unexplored feeling with every line. It is deeply moving, devilishly witty, and entertaining the way that only the Brontës could be, but here in Mr. Kaplan's hands, even more so.
