Current Production:

UNDERDOG: The Other Other Brontë

UNDERDOG: The Other Other Brontë

By Sarah Gordon

An irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the Brontë sisters, and the sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to fame. A familiar story told with a modern voice which makes these three exceptional women very accessible for an audience of today.

Our Summer production runs from Thu 18th — Sat 20th June. 

Auditions for our Summer Festival play take place 18-19 March see A Handbag for more information.

For more on our recent production see our Jack Absolute Flies Again page or take a look at Past Productions.
