Washington City Paper publishes a (rather not very good) review of Brontë Sister House Party : At first, the concept makes good use of actors trying to act mirthful, a feat even more difficult to pull off convincingly onstage than in real life. In time, the irony fades, and the audience—who is, for some reason, also in the void with the sisters—must endure the Brontës’ fumbling efforts to achieve…
A couple of alerts for today, August 20, both at the Brontë Parsonage Museum and at the Brontë Birthplace: Busy like the Brontës! Thurs 20 Aug, 12:30 - 3pm Brontë Event Space in the Old School Room, Haworth When the Brontë children were growing up they didn’t have much to entertain them, but what did they do when they had some spare time?

MDTheatreGuide reviews NuSass Productions' The Brontë Sister House Party : In Courtney Bailey’s offbeat, but easy-to-watch play directed by Kathleen Barth, the sisters and feisty brother, Branwell (Ty Edwards), are stuck in a time warp sometime in their afterlife. It’s difficult to pinpoint the exact years of Purgatory, but it’s definitely contemporary. The task they must complete is to reach the…

ScreenRant thinks that Wuthering Heights is an overrated book and, for some weird reason, thinks that Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca is a better book (as if they were similar in anything other than being written in the same language): Wuthering Heights is often celebrated as one of literature's greatest romances, though this reputation is misleading. Emily Brontë's novel is certainly passionate, but…

DC Theater Arts reviews the current production of Brontë Sister House Party by Courtney Bailey: The play’s premise sounds like a gimmick, and it is: Three real-life Victorian sisters who became renowned for their novels — Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë (authors of, respectively, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall) — have been consigned by a witch to purgatory, where…

The BBC lists the best films of the year so far: 8. Wuthering Heights Emerald Fennell's fearless reinvention of Emily Brontë's 1847 novel is not for Brontë purists, but it is an exhilarating take on the book and a striking example of Fennell's typical artistry and daring. Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are fiery as Cathy and Heathcliff, the classic lovers made for each other but separated by…
