YORKSHIRE’S most famous literary family, the Brontë’s, provide the inspiration for Blake Morrison’s play, We are Three Sisters, which will be performed by the Saddleworth Players at the Millgate Arts Centre from Saturday June 2 to Saturday June 9.
In 1840s Haworth, in a gloomy parsonage where there are neither curtains nor comforts, Charlotte, Anne and Emily Brontë light up their world with outspoken wit, aspirations, dreams and ideas.
And throughout their confined lives intensely lived - they write. Against the backdrop of a dark, remote northern town, these three remarkable young women live their lives brightly.
We are Three Sisters is directed by Carol Davies. The cast includes Maye Battersby (Emily Bronte), Kate Davies (Charlotte Bronte), Esther Weetman (Anne Bronte), Samuel Reid (Branwell Bronte), Lisa Kay (Tabby), Verity Mann (Lydia Robinson), John Weetman (Patrick Bronte), Sam Rowlands (The Curate), James McKeane (The Doctor), and Martin Taylor (The Teacher).
