It's kind-of about the Bront�s. It's kind-of about Grief. It's definitely about Feminism.
It's 200 years since the Bront� sisters, Emily, Charlotte
and Anne, were born. How much have things changed?
In their novels, the Bront�s argued for better rights for
women. Their characters epitomised women who weren't afraid to stand up for
their rights.
Feminism today consists of being sold notebooks, glitter
pens and pin badges that say GRLPOWER. Which is kind
of sad when you think about it. MANPOWER isn't sold. It's just the
Patriarchy. Or is it?
We want to explore what we have in common with the Bront�s?
Do we still need Feminism? Is it really that bad?
Lily is a control freak. Grace can't stop watching porn.
Clara doesn't talk.
Lily, Grace and Clara are all young women trying to work out
where they fit. Do they have a right to complain about the way things are for
girls in the UK- or is what boys say to them just banter?
When they lose their friend Heather it changes their lives
in a way they could never imagine. The narrative
flits between these characters' stories and poetry; music; movement; and
dance as we look back on the Bront�s and compare them with what it's like to
be a girl now.
