Reader, I Married Him - One4Review

I must confess that I am not really a Bronte fan, but the idea of this play appealed to me in the Fringe Programme. The play centres on the eve of Charlotte Bronte’s wedding to the local curate, who is not anything like the passionate character Mr Rochester from her book Jane Eyre. We learn an abridged version of the Bronte dynasty together with the trials they experienced in real life and in attempting to get their books published. This play, written and performed by Angela Barlow just oozes professionalism, is nicely staged and directed and the ladies rather small statue belies her talent and charisma that at times threatens to swamp the whole theatre. A definite must for Bronte fans, and it should also be on your list for quality theatre also. Ms Barlow is also performing after Chekov on alternative dates, and I’m frantically rearranging my schedule to find that one in too. *****
