Underdog |The Other Other Brontë

Charlotte Brontë shares a captivating confession about how one sister became a literary icon while another became unfairly relegated to the background, leaving Anne as the other, other one.

Brought to the stage by the York Settlement Community Players, this production presents Sarah Gordon's acclaimed play, which originally premiered at The National Theatre. Underdog offers a delightfully irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the famous literary family in a way you have never seen them before. This is far from a traditional tale about well-behaved women, choosing instead to focus on the raw power of words, the complexities of sisterhood, the highs and lows of love and jealousy, and a compelling mix of mutual support and fierce sibling rivalry.
