The play is very topical at present with films of both Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights in cinemas now. There has also been a good adaptation of Tenant of Wildfell Hall on Radio 4. The play centres on the troubled relationships within the Brontë family. This is a challenging and fascinating play, showing tantalising glimpses into the lives of the family and how they developed as writers. After you have seen the production I am sure you will all be rushing out to Waterstones to read the novels they wrote.
