A PLAY which provides a modern-day take on the Bronte sisters is touring next month.
Jane Hair: The Brontes Restyled sees the siblings working as hairdressers, whilst pursuing their creative dreams.
In the Buglight Theatre production, Emily is a slam poet and Anne a political blogger, whilst Charlotte has just sold a script to Netflix.
"This lively interpretation of three literary superstars aims to introduce new audiences to the sisters and their work," says co-writer Kat Rose-Martin.
She jointly penned the play with Kirsty Smith, who grew-up in the Worth Valley.
"I was surrounded by the Brontes' faces on tea towels and postcards – it’s easy to forget how much determination, hard work and energy was required to earn their place in the literary world," says Kirsty.
The tour includes a March 17 matinee at Haworth's Old School Room.
