Bøger af Polly Teale

A bold reimagining of Hans Christian Andersen's tale of love, loss and longing. First performed by Shared Experience on UK tour in 2015.

A compelling literary detective story about the turbulent lives of the Bronte sisters - dramatised by Polly Teale and Shared Experience.

They have a beautiful home and a glamorous life. They have everything they could wish for. Except the one thing they want most of all: a baby. But when they do finally adopt a child, the baby's troubled mother also comes into their lives, and a frightening tug-of-love ensues.

Jean Rhys was obsessed with Jane Eyre - and more particularly with Bertha Mason, the first Mrs Rochester and the "madwoman in the attic". Placing Bertha on stage throughout as Jean's alter ego, this dramatization of Rhys' life gives full vent to this obsession.
