Director, producer and writer, Bethany Sharp, chats to Victoria Hadel and Megan Hanson, founders of Prudencia Productions about their upcoming world premiere The Brontës: A musical.

We discuss the life of the Brontë siblings, misrepresentation of female voices and spectacle versus intimacy in musical theatre in advance of the run of The Brontës: A musical at the Space (playing 16th - 20th August).

“To be judged on merit alone,

In the European premiere of this New York-originated musical, young authors Charlotte, Emily, Anne, and Branwell Brontë navigate the turbulent world around them through both their art and their reliance on each other. As they mature and begin to experience love, loss, and the pressures of careerism, they find that their writing takes on a life of its own, empowering them as individuals and threatening to pull them apart as a family.

With a lush, intimate score and witty, emotive lyrics, The Brontës is a heartfelt take on one of the most impactful families of artists the world has ever known.
