Bronte
promethean theatre ensemble
by polly teale
Role: Emily Bronte
Contemporary British dramatist Polly Teale’s post-modern play imaginatively depicts the lives of three sisters—plain and unwed—who defied social constraints and wrote themselves into immortality by penning the greatest romances of all time. Bronte delves into the relationships of three sisters compelled to write for different reasons, often at odds with each other, but ultimately, who inspired each other in literature and life. In this transformational play, Bronte revives our favorite heroes and heroines from Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, and through an examination of these historic women considers what it means to be a woman today.
about the project
returning to the stage
This play was my first project back on stage after my daughter was born. It was a big step for our family and a major boost for me, proving to myself that I still had a place not only on stage, but in the Chicago theatre community. Portraying Emily Brontë was a daunting task, but I felt lucky to be surrounded by an incredibly supportive cast and production team.
“Emily is the mysterious other to whom we are hopelessly drawn, played with mystic fervor by Anne Korajczyk. Whether she’s charming birds from the air like a Disney princess, or rambling the wild and windy moors like her creation Heathcliff, it is impossible to truly understand her, though you wish you could. “
