(Full length) A fresh new take on the Brontës, intertwining Charlotte Brontë's two years as an unpublished young woman at a Belgian school--where she becomes increasingly close to her married tutor/employer, Monsieur Heger--with biographer Mrs. Gaskell's struggle to salvage Charlotte's posthumous reputation and trailblazing novels. In Victorian England the novels of recently deceased author Charlotte Brontë are now widely banned for being too passionate. Mrs. 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 theatrical play about love, friendship and the making--and unmaking--of art and identity.
