The Lost Voice Of Anne Brontë

*PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS*
Acclaimed playwright, Cate Whittaker, returns to the stage in 2021 with her gothic, inspiring work: The Lost Voice of Anne Brontë.
This inspiring drama of a delicate, dutiful, and devout girl is based on a true story and historical accounts. Anne is repressed by waring sisters, a dissolute brother and zealot of a father, yet finds the courage to risk financial ruin and reputation to write on the misery of girls pressed into loveless marriages and wives devoid of legal rights powerless against abusive husbands. Vilified and brutalised to silence her for her heinous book, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (which sold out faster than sister Charlotte’s Jane Eyre), Anne plans a second edition and hits back at her critics in its preface. But exhausted and ill in her work, Anne dies and is barred from taking her rightful place in history. Based on a true story and historical accounts.
After celebrated Sydney performances in 2020, the Whittaker Players will return the stage before heading off to the UK for Anne Brontë's Bicentenary. See it at the Creative Arts Space (145 Beaumont Street, Hamilton) from 9-10 July. Tickets available from www.trybooking.com/BRSER
