DIRECTOR’S NOTES
It has been a joy to work with such a talented cast and crew. We have aimed to both bring Morrison’s play to life and also to do justice to the creative talents of the Bronte siblings. The dramatic licence that Morrison has taken with some historical facts and characters
has allowed us to create humour, mostly at the expense of the males and recreate some of the likely tensions at the Parsonage. I have thoroughly enjoyed working on this historical drama and hope audiences will find it an interesting and entertaining piece.
