THE tragic and talented Bronte sisters are the subject of an imaginative play being performed next month by Perfect Circle, the Malvern-based theatre group.

Bronte, by Polly Teale, looks at the lives of the three sisters, Victorian spinsters living in Haworth near the Yorkshire moors, who wrote some of the most memorable and passionate fiction of all time.

This unusual play evokes the real and imagined world of the Brontes in the Haworth parsonage and in it their famous fictional characters come to haunt them. It examines how the sisters with their isolated and inexperienced lives could have written such passionate and emotionally charged novels.

Bronte is the second production by Perfect Circle, a drama group formed a year ago to produce modern and contemporary theatre and workshops.

Bronte will tour Worcestershire from February 15-26 with performances in Worcester, Bromyard, Ledbury and Kidderminster. The first performance is at Worcester Arts Workshop on Friday, February 15, at 7.30pm. Call 01905 21095 for ticket, which cost £8.
