To Walk Invisible - The Brontë Sisters, this Christmas on BBC

Quotes from the cast on the drama:

“I wanted it to feel as authentic as it could.“ - Sally Wainright (writer, director)

“So much has made them into mythical creatures and the reality is far more interesting.“ - Chloe Pirrie (Emily Brontë)

“It’s a script for a period drama - but one that feels real. A lot of period dramas are visually incredible, but lack the element of realism that this has definitely got.” - Finn Atkins (Charlotte Brontë)

“Take away the Brontë name and it still has to be an exciting and relevant drama. Sally focuses on the tensions among the family - it’s quite dark and troubled.” - Jonathan Pryce (Patrick Brontë)

“To know more about Branwell is to know more about Anne’s work and where she may have got her inspiration “ - Adam Nagaitis (Branwell Brontë)

"Anne Brontë’s anger is evident in virtually every page of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, her second, final, and most famous novel. In it she depicts, with what was for the time, graphic detail, the physical decline of a debauched rake and the emotional and psychological abuses he inflicts. She exposes how a bad marriages to a bad man can trap, subjugate and oppress a woman. She excoriates a society that is fraught with dangers and seeks only to keep them in the dark."

If all perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and, if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the Universe would turn to a mighty stranger. I should not seem a part of it.

LITERARY FRIENDSHIPS:

Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Brontë.

On windy nights, cries, and sobs, and wailings seemed to go round the house, as of the dearly-beloved striving to force their way to [Charlotte Brontë]. Someone conversing with her once objected, in my presence, to that part of Jane Eyre in which she hears Rochester’s voice crying out to her in a great crisis of her life, he being many, many miles distant at the time. I do not know what incident was in Miss Brontë’s recollection when she replied, in a low voice, drawing in her breath, ‘But it is a true thing; it really happened.’
