A poetic stage play in two acts for 3 women and 1 man, appropriate for all audiences. ItÕs the summer of 1839, and would-be-writers Charlotte and Emily Bront‘ 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 sistersÕ most ambitious and passionate achievements, Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights? Romantic and bittersweet, this tightly-woven play deftly captures the joys and tragedy of Òbeing 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 PlaywrightÕs Festival.
