A play about the Brontes by Clemence Dane.
Time, 1812-1855

With the recent serial of "Jane Eyre" in mind viewers should be specially interested in tonight's play which recounts the story of the astonishing children of the Rev. Patrick Bronte: of the wild untameable Emily who wrote "Wuthering Heights"; of the gentler Anne; of Branwell who loved in vain and became a drunkard and a drug addict; of Charlotte whose early passion for her Belgian tutor was not returned but who survived the others to enjoy the celebrity won for them by their books, and who at last found happiness in marriage. It is a story that moves from Yorkshire to the Pensionn at Heger in Brussels and the offices of Messrs. Smith Elder and Co. in London, but principally and properly it centres on Haworth Parsonage in its dramatic setting on the bleak and lonely Yorkshire moors.
