Becoming Brontë

ByEmily Ball Cicchini

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
A poetic stage play in two acts for 3 women and 1 man, appropriate for all audiences. It’s the summer of 1839, and would-be-writers Charlotte and Emily Brontë bicker and daydream, trapped in their sheltered Haworth Parsonage home. A handsome but troubled young curate comes to study with their Reverend father, and romances their younger sister, Anne. Could this flattering but deceiving young man be the inspiration for the sisters’ most ambitious and passionate achievements, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights? Romantic and bittersweet, this tightly-woven play deftly captures the joys and tragedy of “being in love with being in love." Winner of the Austin Critics Table Award, the Live Oak Award for New Play Development, and the Richard and Betty Burdick National Playwright’s Festival. Acting edition: includes royalty free performance rights for educational and nonprofit theatres. See more at www.emilycicchini.com/archive
