Notes: | Original Playwright - Carlo Goldoni (A Servant to Two Masters) | |||||
Synopsis: | A shaggy dog story's a shaggy dog story no matter how you dress it up. In this case it's Carlo Goldini's 18th-century Italian pedigree comedy that's been made over as a snappy 19th century Yorkshire yarn. What's more, it gets a typical eh-by-gum grooming. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| We Are Three Sisters relates the story of the three sisters of the Chekhov play to the Bronte sisters and their brother at Haworth in 1848. Morrison said, "There are good reasons for transplanting the play to Haworth and for identifying the Serghyeevna sisters with the Brontes; they even have a troubled and self-destructive brother in common. Above all I hope that, by taking a cue from Chekhov, the play will banish the gloom surrounding the Brontes and reveal the northern humour and resilience they showed, despite the ever-present threat of death and disease. In other words, I'd like to honour the truth of the Brontes while showing Charlotte, Emily, Anne, Branwell and Patrick as they've never been seen before." | |||||
