(Full length) A fresh take on the Brontës, intertwining Charlotte Brontë's two years as a unpublished young woman at a Belgian school--where she became close to her married tutor/employer, Monsieur Heger--with biographer Mrs. Gaskell's struggle to salvage Charlotte's posthumous reputation and feminist novels. When an alarming letter arrives from Charlotte's school in Brussels, Mrs. Gaskell is forced to investigate just how much of Charlotte's novels--including the bestselling but scandalous JANE EYRE--was taken from her own life. A play about love, friendship, and the making of art and identity.
